What we’re doing to ensure our communities, green networks and infrastructures are adaptable to a changing climate and reduce the risks and vulnerability to unavoidable impacts whilst increasing biodiversity in our local communities, and enjoying the benefits that immersing ourselves in nature can bring.

Growing our own produce
The New Cumnock gardening group were a great source of contact is helping us choose what to spend our Tesco Grant money on to ensure we were equipped to begin growing our own produce. We are now growing a variety of vegetables in our school planters ranging from broad beans to carrots.
Green Guardian award
Our Clean Green Natural Environment team selected 3 embracing and 3 enriching nurture quests. As a whole school we were able to achieve this. Evidence is submitted separately.
FitFest partnership – Green Health in New Cumnock
Our Clean Green Natural Environment Team worked together with our school FitFest Ambassadors to create a Sway which detailed the green space we have available in New Cumnock and the benefits its brings to our mental and physical health. This was shared on our school communication platforms and was tied in to promote the FitFest event held in the community which was well attended.
