St. Albert’s Primary help to plant new wood at Cathkin Braes

In October,  some of the Eco Committee of St. Albert’s joined children from schools  all over Glasgow to help create a new children’s woodland at a 13 hectare site at the Cathkin Braes in Glasgow. This was part of the Lost Woods Project and our pupils worked hard to plant as many Oak and Rowan saplings as they could, which will grow into a fantastic new woodland which will benefit the local community and provide future habitat for many species of animals, plants and fungi. These trees will also help to absorb carbon- dioxide from the atmosphere thus helping to fight climate change and will still be alive hundreds of years into the future. The children were proud to take part in this wonderful project and had a great time on the day, meeting some great characters and joining in with a song. Here are some photos from the event.
