As part of our HPS Goes Wild Project we have planted five apple trees to our school grounds. Two of these are a donation from The Conservation Volunteers and the remaining three were purchased with the Pollinator’s Grant we received from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful. These trees are a mix of cooking apples and eating apples. They will encourage local pollinators to come and make their home in our school grounds. P4 Room 6 assisted The Conservation Volunteers in planting them last Monday. They had a really good time and learned more about the role of trees in reducing our carbon footprint.
