Eco Warriors record ancient tree.

This week Year 6 Eco Warriors were delighted to meet Michael Scott from the Woodlands Trust who visited our school to inspect our favourite tree the Cedar of Lebanon. It was planted when the main house was constructed and has grown and flourished with the school over the years. The “Cedar tree”,as it is affectionally known, is as much a part of the school as the buildings themselves.

Michael’s inspection, with the help of the Eco Warriors, included measuring the girth of the tree and observing its overall condition. His enthusiasm was infectious and everyone enjoyed learning more about trees in general.

We were very pleased when Michael offically verified the Cedar as an ancient tree and the details have been recorded by the Woodlands Trust. Michael presented us with a different type of Cedar tree to plant in our grounds. Who knows, maybe someday it too will be verified as an ancient tree.
