Young people have created artwork focused on climate change for an exhibition at a museum in Devon.

The ‘Earth Action North Devon: Explorers Create!’ exhibition has opened at the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon with support from local charity Earth Action North Devon.

Students enrolled on the charity’s Ocean Explorer education programme created sketches, and upcycled items and photographs after visiting inspiring locations including Croyde beach, Lee Bay and Chapel Wood.

Alison Mills, director of the museum, said she hoped visitors would be inspired by the work.

She said it was “an honour to be able to showcase the creative ideas and solutions of young people living locally who are dedicated to tackling climate change”.

The exhibition will run until Saturday 22 November.
