DGP is extremely proud to have received some great feedback from Marsham Primary School, a local school situated close to our Bure Valley Path project, and the first school to participate in our planned programme of ‘Let’s go Planting’ workshops.
“We had the privilege of a visit last week from DGP who kindly donated two silver birch trees for our school. Michael, Divisional Director, shared a presentation with the children, recognising why it was important to keep a workplace tidy and safe as well as why trees are good for our environment.
The children enthusiastically participated in the discussion, sharing their thoughts on staying safe, what is damaging our planet and what we can do to help. All the children were involved in the planting of the trees, which they thoroughly enjoyed, helping dig, lift, and plant, whilst wearing their own high visibility jackets and hard hats! Thank you for this opportunity. We will take good care of our new trees and look forward to them blooming in the spring.”
