An environment project at Hardgate Primary<\/a> has earned it success in the Scotland\u2019s Finest Wood Awards.<\/p>\n The school\u2019s transformation of a nearby wood and learning in a local forest landed it the Crown Estate Scotland Schools\u2019 Trophy in the awards\u2019 schools and early years category.<\/p>\n A pupil-led eco committee decided they needed to improve the use of Daniel\u2019s Wood and enhance its biodiversity.<\/p>\n With the help of Dumfries and Galloway Woodlands, they planted 40 native trees \u2013 hazel and hawthorn \u2013 which created a windbreak and sitting area which offers increased shelter for their activities, including a fire circle. Work to manage the space, including cutting back canopy is continuing, with parents involved.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
