Trees Planted

Year 8 science students today planted out twelve new trees, wild cherries in the grove by the wiggly fence, alder with their feet near the pond and birch on the hll towards the church. Teams of waterers and tree minders will look after the saplings as they grow. More trees will come in the autumn, and will be planted out according to the land scaping design drawn up for us by governor Jean Forbes.

Cardboard

We have started to see real benefits from all that bin-hoking. Remember that we found that our biggest single waste substance was cardboard? and that we were able to have the cardboard recycled by the local interchurch project? Well, Mick has been keeping an eye on the effects and we filled four bins fewer with landfill rubbish just by the action alone of recycling the cardboard. Benefits all round. We will be able to save money next year by hiring fewer bins. The interchurch project will gain the proceeds they earn from suppyling the cardboard to the recyclers, and everyone benefits from less landfill.
