It started with them all being encouraged to draw suggestions as to what they would like to include, on the subject of nature and the local natural environment. Trees, the local river and wild flowers were very popular so the panel was drawn out and the real work began!
Every child at school has contributed to the really terrific end result, and it is finally ready to berevealed!Read more

Haslingfield Quarry (or clunch pit) is one of only two sites recorded by the Wildlife Trust in the three counties of Beds, Northants and Cambs which are home to the rare Man Orchid. This relatively undisturbed chalk grassland, a County Wildlife Site, also boasts Bee Orchids, Twayblades, Common Spotted Orchids and Pyramidal Orchids, as well as many other native wildflowers.
