The children of Freshwater & Yarmouth Primary School rolled up their sleeves and helped sow seeds for a brand-new wildflower meadow at Stroud Field, Freshwater.
The project was supported by Freshwater Parish Councillors, Caroline Pakel, Susan Betts, and Becca Cameron, and Cllr Chris Jarman, of Totland & Colwell Ward. He said: “The project will enhance local biodiversity and bring even more natural beauty to our community.
“By planting a rich variety of wildflowers, these young environmental champions are helping to create an important habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while also making our local area brighter and more vibrant for everyone to enjoy.
“It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm, team-work, and care for the environment from the next generation. Small actions today can grow into something truly beautiful for the future.
“A huge thank you to all the pupils, staff, and volunteers involved in helping our community bloom, and Tom Murphy, who was commissioned to deliver the works, including leading the children in a rain dance!”
