Lochdonhead Primary School was selected as the Regional Winner 2017 in the Better Energy School Awards. The school have won a cheque for £500.00 “Congratulations to the pupils and staff of Lochdonhead Primary School – what an ambitious project you have embarked upon and you have adopted an extremely professional approach. We were very impressed by the way you have sought detailed information and knowledge from experts and the way that you have involved your community in the development of your nature trail.

The photos give us a real insight into the children’s involvement and enthusiasm for the project and it is particularly impressive that such a small group of children has achieved so much. We wish you every success as you launch your nature trail and would very much like to see the finished result! We hope you will take part in the Better Energy School Awards again next year.”

Thank you to everyone for their amazing support for Lochdon Nature Trail. We are so happy and pleased at how far we have come. We are now looking forward to using this fantastic outdoor learning resource with other school pupils and to locals and visitors walking our trail. We had our official opening on Monday 26th June Mr Chris James came along with other members of the community to walk the trail and cut the ribbon.
