Earth Action North Devon is a local charity on a mission to protect and improve the environment through community-led action. Our new Community Gallery exhibition features creations from students of the charity’s pioneering Ocean Explorer Academy education programme.

Since 2022, the programme has taken local young people to stunning sites like Croyde beach, Lee Bay, Chapel Wood and Woolacombe Down, connecting them with nature in an immersive, fun and exploratory way. It’s a programme that aims to inspire and empower the next generation of change-makers.

Since the programme’s inception, students have explored everything from mindful sketching and species surveys, to making habitat boxes, dry stone walling, and even investigating the fast fashion industry.

Outraged at the huge amount of tent waste at local campsites, these creative explorers have produced fascinating upcycled items, including a model sailboat, an artists’ canvas, a dog coat, lanterns, bags and a kite!

Their creations, photographs and sketchbooks are full of passion. They have featured in the local press, and have helped students to leverage positive climate action in their homes, schools and communities.

We warmly invite you to come and take a deep dive into the powerful, passionate world of North Devon’s young environmental stewards.
