Outdoor learning means healthier kids

01 November 2011

Warrington has caught the outdoor education bug - with many schools wanting to improve their grounds to create outdoor learning environments and help pupils reconnect with nature.

 

Orchards and new mini-woodlands

The Mersey Forest will be working with seven local primaries this autumn and winter to make their plans a reality, using funding from The Big Tree Plant. The schools are set to benefit from orchards, new mini woodlands and wildlife-friendly hedgerows to create settings for natural play and outdoor learning within their own grounds.

 

Other public spaces also to be greened

Other public spaces within the borough will also be greened including Barley Road play area, Euclid Park and Culcheth playing fields. The improvements form part of The Mersey Forest's drive to make Warrington and the rest of Merseyside and North Cheshire one of the best places to live in the country, full of exciting green spaces to discover and explore.

The full list of schools to benefit is:

Glazebury Primary
