Green RIG
Launched in May 2007, the Green RIG is a giant educational toolbox-on-wheels aimed at raising public awareness of regional environmental issues. By providing learning programmes tailored to different audiences, the Green RIG promotes the connections between our work and our commun ities.
This is a high-spec mobile environmental education facility designed to be used as an exhibition, classroom and meeting space. On-board interactive exhibits and displays centre on the key themes of WATER, LAND and HABITATS, with a range of hands-on, outdoor classroom programmes running from the Environmental Scene Investigation (ESI) Lab. Its teaching focus is the four main environmental issues facing our region:
- declining water quality
- increasingly scarce water resources
- eroding land
- declining biodiversity (native habitats).
The RIG can go almost anywhere and cater for any event – school groups, public meetings, festivals and fun days.
