Bradford children planting trees to address climate change!
Bradford school children have planted hundreds of trees, hedges and shrubs, as part of a Trees for Cities’ project, to promote nature recovery and building resilience against the effects of climate change.
Victoria Primary School in Keighley is one of six schools and two community sites in Bradford receiving 2,356 trees to create a natural outdoor area where pupils can learn about biodiversity. Jane Dark, executive head teacher, said part of their curriculum is a focus on the climate and the importance of trees and nature.
The Trees for Cities charity works to improve lives by planting trees in cities by revitalising forgotten spaces. Mel Frances from the charity said: “This is one of our big school greening projects called Trees for Schools.
Rachel Palfray from Natural England, which funds the project, said they wanted to “boost nature across Bradford and across Keighley” to give children more access to nature.
