On the 23rd June, the Green Team headed over to Spring Hill Primary School to assist with the cleaning up of their forest school.
Activities for the day included:
- Using shovels to remove built up soil from a firepit area.
- Trimming brash piles and using the cuttings to make habitat piles which promote wildlife and biodiversity in the area.
- Litter picking to give the area a general tidy-up.
- Removing built up mosses and lichens on stone growing beds using wire brushes (with safety googles and gloves equipped!)
- Removing vegetation from the growing beds and turning the soil for seed planting at a later date.
All students got a chance to try each activity and everyone had a lot of fun cleaning up their forest school and making small improvements.
Thank you to Spring Hill Primary School for having us, we were happy to help with the maintenance of these incredible schools which do so much for promoting the use of green spaces and improving connections with nature!
We would also like to thank our funders Green Recovery Challenge Fund and National Lottery Heritage Fund for supporting the work we do.
