PUPILS from the Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation have been busy planting trees and hedgerows at the four schools as part of encouraging more learning outdoors and the bringing to life lessons on the environment. At Cracoe school, 50 trees have been planted throughout the grounds, including a small copse within the school’s new wildlife garden. The garden project was initiated in 2019 with support of the Trustees of the Cracoe War Memorial Village Hall and the Swindon Quarry Environment Fund. Pupils, who have designed the garden, each researched and chose a native tree to plant and care for over their years at Cracoe. The children hope to encourage wildlife and are also working on a scheme to include a pond and beehives.
