Willowbank School Pupils created their own litter posters as part of our Health & Wellbeing project. The pupils hope their posters highlight everyone’s problem – LITTER!
Here are just a few examples of the completed posters as part of our campaign to reduce the amount of litter in our school grounds and local area, Coatbridge.

Our Litter project group recently re-visited the school grounds to see if any litter had found its way back into our yard over the Easter holidays. Unfortunately we found it had!
The ‘litter hot-spots’ had filled up again with the usual suspects. There were plastic bottles, beer cans and cigarette butts. The group made a short video to report on their findings. Our aim now is to come up with a long term solution to the problem!!!!! Watch this space!
Pupils from Willowbank School, Coatbridge this week joined forces with The Woodland Trust, the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, to plant new trees at a designated area with Drumpellier Country Park, Coatbridge.
Pupils planted native trees which will grow well into the next century to be enjoyed by future generations.
The project is part of the Woodland Trust’s “More Trees, More Good” campaign – the largest tree planting mission the UK has ever seen.
For Melissa, Shaun, Eve and Lee, this was the first time they had planted a tree. The pupils learned about the environmental benefits and how their trees will help the forests of tomorrow.
Paul Bunton of the Woodland Trust said “With the help of more young people The More Trees, More Good campaign will help make a lasting impact on the UK landscape.”
