We are so lucky to have this land nearby- and to have had the efforts of so many people to make this actually happen. All our S1-S3 (& many seniors and staff) have each planted a tree - now to see whose grows fastest!
Young people in S1-S3 from @BrechinHigh1 have teamed up with Scotia Homes & @WoodlandTrust to take the first step in developing the local school community garden to offer rural learning & improve wellbeing & sustainability opportunities 👉 angus.gov.uk/news/school_ch…
So proud of our pupils - a credit to the school and their families #ProudToBeBrechin
