Last year we recieved a bundle of ‘twigs’, which we put into a nursery bed to enable them to develop a healthy rootball over the winter months. Today (Wednesday 1st May) we planted them out in our school grounds. Mr Colin Hossack who works for the Forestry Commission( and is Tara’s Dad)  came and gave us a short talk about the importance of trees and all the associated wildlife and habitats that revolve around them. He then demonstrated  how to plant the little trees and protect them from rabbits with mesh guards which he brought along for us to use. The pupils in P5,6,7  then managed to get many of the plants in the ground, and hopefully they will grow eventually into strong healthy trees.
