School pupils have planted 400 tress in a Falkirk area park as part of the Queen ’s Green Canopy, a tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
The native woodland trees include rowan, silver birch, hazel and bird cherry and were donated to Larbert High School by the Woodland Trust.
The tree planting is also part of a wider project to trial new ways of managing local greenspaces to deliver benefits for local people and the environment.
The project will see changes at 35 pilot sites, including Stenhouse Park.
Councillor Paul Garner, spokesperson for Environment said: "Pupils at Larbert High really did a wonderful job planting the native trees while showing a real commitment to improving the local environment and tackling climate change.
"Climate change is a complex issue but there are simple things we can do which includes increasing tree and woodland locally and globally.
"Well done to everyone who took part."
And local people can give Falkirk Council their views on this more sustainable approach to managing our greenspaces by completing a survey.
