Watervole Wetland Development

P7 have enjoyed visiting Brownsburn Local Nature Reserve as part of their Outdoor Learning this year. Yesterday, the class were joined by park ranger Kirsty Mooney, to make an important trip to the park.

Did you know that there are European Water Vole living just behind our school? Our responsible citizens have been playing their part in developing the environment to ensure the survival of this endangered species. The pupils achieved this through planting particular types of plant around the wetland area – these plants will help encourage the water voles to the area. They must be delicious!

As you can see from our gallery, it was tough work!
