Kingsdown School pupils dig in to help the environment

The Rotary Club of Rayleigh Mill responds to the #BillionSeedChallenge by donating spring bulbs to Kingsdown School

Rayleigh Mill Rotarian, Terry Morris, together with teacher, Abbie Cherry, joins the pupils of Kingsdown School in planting spring flowering bulbs

In the recent past Environmental Protection has been added to Rotary’s Seven Areas of Focus. Rotary is committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment.

In support of that aim, the Rotary Club of Rayleigh Mill has responded to the #BillionSeedChallenge by donating spring flowering bulbs to Kingsdown School.

Rotarians Terry Morris and Bill White joined an enthusiastic band of pupils in planting the bulbs in the school garden. The pupils will tend to the plot over the winter and will update the Rotary Club on the progress of the bulbs as they grow.

The club and the children live in hope that the plot will prove to be a colourful addition to the garden and will play its part in helping the environment by being a haven for insect life.
