Your child can become an eco poet and help to share views about nature and the environment with The Big Green Poetry Machine!

It’s a fantastic opportunity for your child to share their thoughts on the world around them as well as help them become a confident writer.

Poems can be in any style and must link to the environment: from litter, pollution and wildlife, to sustainability, conservation or exploring nature & local landscapes.

Get your child engaged with caring for the environment and creating a better world for their future by writing a poem and giving their young voice a chance to be heard.
