Climate Action at Prettygate Schools
Earlier this year, Prettygate Schools undertook a comprehensive three-phase project to help pupils access outdoor learning opportunities and connect to nature.
The project began with pupils from all year groups contributing to the planting of 2,158 trees over a three-day period to create a new forest school.
The trees were funded through the Essex Forest Initiative, an ambitious tree-planting project from Essex County Council (ECC) that will see 375,000 trees planted in the county between 2019 and 2024.
