Young People Invited to Discover Grin Low's Climate, Nature and Heritage Story at Generation Hope Buxton Information Day 

Information Day at Poole's Cavern Visitor Centre on Saturday 10 October, 11am–3pm 

Young people aged 13–25 are being invited by Buxton Civic Association (BCA) to find out more about a new climate, nature and heritage project at a Generation Hope Buxton Information Day at Poole's Cavern Visitor Centre on Saturday 10 October, from 11am to 3pm. 

Generation Hope Buxton: From Fire and Stone to Woodland and Wildlife will explore the story of Grin Low, from its ancient quarrying and hidden lime kilns to the woodland and wildlife recovering there today. The project will encourage young people to investigate how people have shaped the local landscape over hundreds of years and how local action can support nature recovery and climate awareness now. 

The project is part of the Natural History Museum's Fixing Our Broken Planet programme and will give young people the chance to build skills, meet like-minded people and contribute to a youth-led public exhibition, Roots of Recovery. 

Participants will be able to get involved in wildlife and biodiversity surveys, heritage investigations, photography and digital storytelling, climate and nature workshops, and exhibition creation. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and enthusiasm. 

Generation Hope Buxton is aimed at young people aged 13–25. It forms part of the Natural History Museum's Fixing Our Broken Planet programme and will explore the links between Buxton's heritage, climate change, biodiversity and nature recovery.  

The Information Day is an opportunity to learn more about the project, ask questions and find out how to take part. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
