The Jurassic Coast Trust is developing a new digital platform to inspire visitors with the area 's extraordinary World Heritage coastline and to promote sustainable tourism.

The Jurassic Coast Trust move forward plans to investigate the feasibility of new facility dedicated to the World Heritage Site and its exceptional fossil record.

Lyme Regis Museum on the Dorset coast is celebrating the life and work of one the town 's most famous daughters, Mary Anning, with a rarely seen portrait of the renowned palaeontologist, an exhibition featuring one of her rare ichthyosaurs and a stunning newly discovered genus and species of extinct marine 'crocodile ' found by two local fossil hunters.

The Jurassic Coast Trust (JCT) have undertaken an annual review of the key priorities identified in the 2020-2025 World Heritage Site Partnership Plan (the Plan) and are pleased to share positive progress in over 75% of the objectives to date.

An exciting new fossil exhibition is opening this month at Sidmouth Museum, showcasing rare and globally important specimens collected from East Devon 's famous red rocks.

As a prelude to the re-launching of a very modified and updated Exmouth Dinosaur Trail, the Town Team (who have responsibility for this) organised an evening talk on 17 March 2022 to invited quests from the local community.

The Jurassic Coast is a 95-mile stretch along the south coast of England. With its stunning scenery and breath-taking views, there is no better place for you to unwind. And that 's not all - there is plenty to do too.

We 're delighted to announce that we 've been accepted onto Media Trust 's Weston Communicating Climate Programme, funded by Garfield Weston Foundation and MG OMD. Following last year 's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, the public concern for climate change was boosted at scale. As a result, one message became very clear. Compelling storytelling and clearer, more urgent communications can drive home to audiences that the time to act on environmental issues is now.

The Jurassic Coast Trust has delivered a training programme for Dorset and Devon museums as part of their Jurassic Coast Collection project. Thanks to funding support from the John Ellerman Foundation, JCT staff members provided museums with a new perspective on their collections, highlighting how their work contributes to the ongoing efforts to protect the Jurassic Coast 's palaeontological heritage.

Cumulus Outdoors and the Jurassic Coast Trust have teamed up to help inspire young visitors to learn about the Jurassic Coast, whilst raising vital funds to help look after it. Julian Sawyer, one of the Trust 's local voluntary Ambassadors, delivered a series of talks for young people undertaking their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Residential in Dorset with Cumulus Outdoors in 2021.
