A Month of Biodiversity at Tresham College 🌍🌿
This May, Tresham College came together across our Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough campuses to celebrate a Centenary of Biodiversity in honour of David Attenborough, marking his 100th birthday earlier this month
This was a truly collaborative effort, bringing together students and staff from across all curriculum areas to create a meaningful legacy for the future.
A highlight of the celebrations was the creation of time capsules at each campus, filled with contributions from departments across the College. A special congratulations to engineering student Noah Martin, whose winning design for the capsule plates is now featured across all three sites 👏
Throughout the month, students took part in a wide range of activities, including:
🌱 Growing vegetables and exploring sustainability within the community
🐝 Creating 3D printed, bee-themed self-watering pots
🌻 Planting sunflower “wishes for the future”
💌 Writing letters and birthday cards to Sir David Attenborough
🌸 Making seed bombs to support rewilding efforts
🧠 Taking part in biodiversity quizzes and creative activities
At our Kettering campus, students also enjoyed an interactive experience with local entomologist Suzie Askew, getting hands-on with insects and learning more about biodiversity in action.
This month has been a fantastic opportunity to connect our campuses, celebrate our communities and inspire students to think about their role in protecting the natural world.
A huge thank you to everyone involved!!
