Bonnyrigg Primary pupils have planted trees in the school’s grounds as part of the ‘Wee Forests’ initiative.
This is part of a £500,000 Scottish Government funded project, led by NatureScot, which will see 20 Wee Forests planted across the country.
A Wee Forest is a tennis court-sized area where people can create dense planting of fast growing native woodland. It often incorporates an outdoor classroom where young learners and the local community can come together to connect with nature.
