London's Natural History Museum has partnered with the Stourbridge Glass museum in a new environmental partnership, that will introduce a new trail to the area.
The route, which runs from the Bonded Warehouse to Stourbridge Glass Museum, will be transformed as part of a new environmental project led by the Natural History Museum in London, and in partnership with the Stourbridge Glass Museum.
The scheme is one of eight initiatives recently funded through the Natural History Museum’s Interconnected Programme which aims to engage young people in climate action through cultural and community-focused activities.
A spokesperson from the Natural History Museum said: "The trail will link the mural to the museum, where visitors can see Europe’s first carbon-neutral glass studio in action, and explore pathways from environmental impact to climate action and ecological hope."
A central feature of the project will be a large, participatory mural co-designed by young people aged 13 to 25.
The artwork will explore Stourbridge’s environmental journey, contrasting its industrial heritage with future visions of ecological recovery.
The trail will connect the mural to the museum itself, offering visitors the chance to learn about sustainable glassmaking and explore real-life examples of climate action.
The spokesperson added: "In August 2026, Stourbridge was devastated by wildfires, so understands more than most communities the importance of a net zero future."
Stourbridge Glass Museum's director, Elliot Goodger said:
"Stourbridge Glass Museum is delighted to be partnering with the Natural History Museum, who were runners‑up to us when we won Sustainable Project of the Year 2025."
"We will be delivering a series of street‑mural artworks along the Wordsley canals, replacing decades of tagging and vandalism with high‑quality, nature‑inspired public art."
"This is regeneration at its best, bringing pride, creativity and heritage back into the community" added the Museum director.
