Planting at Pleckgate

Pleckgate High School received 30 saplings from the Woodland Trust and have planted them on the school grounds. Year 8 Ahmed said: “I enjoy the Eco Club as I like helping the environment, it is something I am interested in. I am looking forward to watching the trees grow although it will take some time!” The saplings are a collection of five different species which will all help the animals who visit Pleckgate in a different way meeting our biodiversity aim. Our Eco Club can’t wait to see the trees they have planted start to grow!

The Eco club is constantly growing with brilliant young minds and they received 52 application from Year 7 pupils alone to join the team! They have now begun to research the local wildlife and are looking how they can support them over the upcoming seasons such as designing a bug hotel which will be constructed in the New Year.
