Presentation by Jurassica CEO Michael Hanlon, followed by audience questions.

The third Jurassica Community Presentation on Friday 7th November is open to all. Please spread the word and come along to hear the latest project developments and put your questions to Michael Hanlon.

Jurassica is an ambitious plan to create a spectacular prehistoric attraction to showcase the Jurassic Coast. In an old limestone quarry on Portland, under an extraordinary glass and steel roof designed by the world’s finest architect Renzo Piano, visitors will be able to walk back through time and take in hundreds of millions of years of Earth’s most interesting chunk of history, the age of the dinosaurs and plesiosaurs, the pterosaurs and ammonites.

Jurassica will have a similar draw to the Eden Project in Cornwall. It will provide around 200 permanent jobs, provide extensive training programmes, apprenticeships, research collaborations and work placements. The volunteer programme will create high-quality volunteering opportunities in a wide variety of roles, reaching older and younger volunteers, individuals and groups.

Please like our Facebook page for project updateswww.facebook.com/jurassica.org and you can also message us your questions or thoughts.
