Pupils and staff at the Academy were joined by local folk to plant trees in Kemnay on Sunday (March 17).

Very rainy weather, plus sleet, did not deter Keren Lovie, Nathan Di Marco, Catherine Chadbourn, Emma Thomson, Isobel Thomson, and Ewan Guild joining teachers Mr Bayliss, Mrs McGregor, and Mrs Tumelty in planting trees in and around the Academy area.

The tree-planting event was organised by local group, Greener Kemnay, and saw some two dozen people – local residents, guides, and family of the pupils and staff – plant hundreds of trees around the village.
