Harrogate primary school plants its 1,000th tree A primary school in Harrogate has planted 1,000 trees within its grounds. Staff, pupils, parents and volunteers have helped Saltergate School plant 1,030 saplings around the school’s perimeter. The hope is in time it will grow into a ‘mini forest’ and hedgerow wilderness. These areas are vitally important for creating habitats for a variety of wildlife, increasing biodiversity, along with helping to capture pollution. Saltergate teacher Mrs Jess Lovatt, who took a lead on the project, said:
“Our pupils are passionate about helping the environment and were enthusiastic about getting involved. “This project has also been fantastic in not only boosting nature and wildlife on our already very green site, but for the health and wellbeing of the students involved.”Headteacher, Mrs Hall, has praised the efforts of staff and children. She said:
“It has also been a lovely way for children to leave a lasting legacy at the school. “We look forward to the children of Saltergate learning about all the trees and hedgerows we have planted, and seeing the changes across our school site as the years go by. “We have thoroughly enjoyed this project and are so grateful for the opportunity for our students to connect with the nature around them here at Saltergate.”The school have thanked the Woodland Trust, Orchards for Schools-Tree Council and Yorkshire Gardens Trust, whose generous donations have allowed them to reach this milestone.
