An environmental education project with a difference.
The project introduces the fascinating stories contained within the rocks and fossils of the Suffolk coast and highlights the fragility of the North Sea coastline – using both as sources of artistic inspiration.
Kindly funded by Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths NL's 'Sustainable Development' and 'Amenity and Accessibility' funds, the project helps local communities deepen their interest and knowledge of the area.
The project focuses on three sites:
Dunwich Cliffs, with their 2 million year-old Norwich Crag sands and gravels
Orford Crag Pit and Orford Castle and Crag Pit, with their 4 million year-old exposures of Coralline Crag limestone, and
Bawdsey Cliffs, with their 2.6 million year-old Red Crag fossils resting on 50 million year-old London Clay, dating back to the tropical Eocene period.
