We have taken part in a series of workshops with a local environmentalist, Mr. Ted Cook, and have gained a huge insight into native trees and native wildflowers in our local area and beyond. We have done a lot of work on our school garden and installed a bird feeding station and prepared a site within the school garden for our new ‘Bug Hotel’. We purchased a lovely small ‘hotel’ from the Men’s Shed in Macroom and we hope to build a larger ‘Bug Hotel’ and ‘Frog Motel’ in our lovely new field in the near future.
