Welcome to the EcoHub!

Back in November, we launched our brand new experience location: 'The EcoHub' at the University of Hull's Botanical Gardens. We have been so lucky to have been given use of this space and we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to develop our learning experience that makes best use of the beautiful grounds.

Classes from Oldfleet Primary and Hall Road Academy were the first to trial our 'Biodiversity and You' experience. The children took part in a range of activities to understand what biodiversity is and the human impact. They conducted wildlife surveys and worked in groups to overcome real-world problems.

The best part of the day, however, had to be the free exploration time in the gardens. From open grassed areas, to small, secluded trails and from carefully landscaped flowerbeds, to the wild paddock, every child found something to enjoy - the squeals of delight certainly shattered the peace!

We have also partnered with NGN, who have been delivering exciting workshops all about the future and sustainability. We extend a huge thanks to Dave and the team for these hands-on, engaging lessons!
