Supporting urban biodiversity and scientific research is the goal of the museum’s new gardens. A huge bronze Diplodocus, ‘Fern’ as the local kids call him, is the showpiece of the garden.
According to museum director Dr. Doug Gurr, this project represents a huge step forward in the fight for urban sustainability.
For Dr. Gurr, the project is “a national learning and public engagement initiative,” as she put it. The ambitious project, which has a budget of £25 million, seeks to establish itself as one of the most researched urban nature areas globally.
