We work with pupils and staff to assess your site for wildlife and work with children and staff to plan, design and plant up areas. We can also come in to rejuvenate existing areas. Planting may include living willow structures, orchards, ponds, invertebrate habitats, hedgerows, wildflower meadows, a sensory garden, wildlife borders, bug hotels, habitat logs, stag beetle pyramids and a nectar border. We will leave you with a management plan to enable you to look after it.
