Mini meadows grow support for wildflower week!

Green fingered St Asaph pupils have helped kick off the celebrations for an important nature recovery project. 

Ysgol Esgob Morgan pupils teamed up with our Biodiversity Team to welcome the incoming Wildflower Week events during half term with a spot of miniature sustainable meadow creations

Using a wildflower seed mix sourced by the Biodiversity Team from meadows across the county and reusing old egg box containers, pupils created mini meadows by planting the seeds in the boxes.

And once Autumn arrives the Biodiversity Team will return to the school to help the pupils plant their mini meadows outside to provide support for local nature around the site moving forward.

Whilst at the school the team also helped pupils learn about different wildflowers by running a Wildflower Bingo session which encouraged the youngsters to search for different flowers on a sheet handed to them.

Pupils also found out about techniques used to survey animals in the wild thanks to the Biodiversity Team demonstrating how hedgehog track tunnels ae used to keep a watchful eye on how the animal is faring in the wild.
