Tree Planting Brightens up School Grounds
Date: Wednesday, January 23, 2008
School children from St Matthew's Bloxham
C. Of E. Primary School will be busy planting trees in their school
grounds on the 30th January 2008.
Groundwork Coventry and Warwickshire have
kindly donated £500 to Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to help schools
across the region set up their Forest
Schools.
The interest in Forest Schools in
Warwickshire and Coventry has been huge in schools recently, due to
a new training partnership programme lead by Warwickshire Wildlife
Trust. Now, thanks to Ground Work, newly developed Forest
Schools have been allocated a number of tree saplings which will
truly make a difference to their barren School grounds.
Sarah Klaes, Senior Forest School
Co-ordinator for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says,
"Trees are a real boost for school
grounds. A number of employers from education settings are
currently going through Forest School training and are currently
thinking of ways to improve the grounds. This grant is much
appreciated. It has given a much needed lift to the new Forest
School leaders and will hopefully encourage the children to
appreciate the natural world around them."
