Raise Cumbria supported West Cumbrian secondary school, @TheWhitehavenAcademy to develop its outdoor spaces to enhance pupils’ health, well-being and learning outcomes. Raise foresters worked with the school’s eco-committee to co-design a multipurpose planting scheme which includes the creation of 7 hectares of woodland with 526 trees planted, the establishment of a fruit orchard and a naturally recolonising ‘Cumbrian Savannah’.
Students also worked with The Knotted Project to create a short performance piece in response to their surroundings and their feelings about the environment.
Raise provided funding for the project through Trees for Climate, part of the government-led, Nature for Climate Fund. The project has also been supported by internet broadband provider Fibrus, who donated trail cameras that will allow students to study the changing ecology of the site.
We are interested in hearing from landowners who might want to talk about transforming their land with woodland creation, please get in touch through our website: www.raisecumbria.co.uk/contac...
