Our Woodland

                                         This is part of our woodland behind our pitch!

Ann Chapman decided to introduce an enviromentaly friendly theme into our club aims. One of the intrests of the members was tree planting.

Her aim was enchancing biodiversity and creating a woodland for next generations.

The aim was acheived in two ways. First, planting trees and shrubs to increase a diversity of spaces for birds and insects. The second objective was to devlope a  pond to provide a natural habitat sutible for the species that inhabbit such enviroments.

3/9/2010 First visit to the Rousay School Woodlands

Today we visited the Rousay School Woodland with Jenny Taylor, Ann Chapman and John Vetterlein.  We saw spiders, insects, plant, seeds, sycamore, ash, willow, rowan, white beam and moss.  Over the next year we will be monitoring the growth and change in our woods.

Our woods

Rousay Primary School woods was created by the schools janitor Ann Chapman.  Ann is extremely dedicated and has created a wonderful area for the children to explore and learn in.  Pupils are extremely grateful to Ann for this wonderful area.
