Thu, 12 Sep 2019

Just under 200 pupils from Laxey School will plant a tree each and learn more about the natural world in Baldrine throughout today.

Children will plant trees at Ballanette Park, Baldrine from 10am until 3pm, with students of each year group taking turns.

They will discuss the benefits of growing forests with Professor Peter Bridgewater, a marine biodiversity scientist and create bumble bee cages from reeds at the reserve with John ’Dog’ Callister.

The day is being hosted by construction company SCS to celebrate 50 years on the Island.
