CREATING an area of woodland in their school grounds helped pupils learn more about sustainability. The project - carried out in conjunction with Trish Mersh, a volunteer with the local environmental group Burley Tree Project - enabled the year three pupils at Burley and Woodhead C of E Primary School to get in touch with nature and learn about the long-term advantages of planting trees.
