The Discovery Project is an environmental education project,
launched in
2007. We are working with schools, local groups and residents
to raise
awareness, understanding and enjoyment of Mid Suffolk's natural and
built heritage. This can range from leading environmental education
activities with schools at our countryside sites, in school grounds
or a local green space, to organising guided walks with local
experts, providing volunteering opportunities or holding fun
events.
The Discovery Project works closely
with the Countryside Team, building on the educational and informal
activities already run and developing new opportunities. Your
local area and local heritage is important. We want people to enjoy
and make use of what is on offer.
Educational resources for schools and information for the
public are being developed as part of the Discovery
Project.

The Discovery Project has been made possible thanks to a five-year
grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), two grants funded
by Natural England through Defra’s Aggregates Levy
Sustainability Fund (ALSF), support from Mid Suffolk District
Council and Suffolk County Council's Corporate Regeneration
Fund.
The Discovery Project web pages will be updated and added to as the
Project progresses and resources are developed.
