“It was such a special week and we feel really privileged to have been a part of it. Thank you for making it such a stimulating and interesting adventure.”
“This course has changed my life. I now know what I want to do at university and I want my career as a lawyer to be focused on sustainability. ”
“Such a great afternoon. The “to-be-read” pile has grown significantly though! A huge thank you to you.”
“We’re so fortunate to regularly exploit Kim’s generosity and expertise. We’d certainly be nowhere close to where we are in our sustainability and environment work in the school without her! ”
Oxford Earth Academy is a non profit organisation, and is run by volunteers. We are delighted to work with Wytham Woods, the Environmental Change Institute, the Leverhulme centre for nature recovery, and the Department of Education, at the University of Oxford. Wytham Woods got an award for our work in 2022, our Director, Kim Polgreen received a High Sherrif’s Award in 2023, and the Oxford Education Deanery were shortlisted for a Vice Chancellor’s Award for our work in 2026!
