OXFORD-based charity Earthwatch is offering local schools the chance to participate in an eco-competition.

Students with the most enterprising proposals to re-vamp a run-down piece of land will present their plans to an audience at Oxford University, and could win a grant of up to £500 to make their green dream a reality.

The closing date for proposals is Friday, March 9, with the debate taking place on Tuesday, June 19.

Any schools wishing to get involved should contact Earthwatch on 01865 318856, or email events@earthwatch.org.uk
