In response to Skipton Rotary's call for suggestions for a poster visual and a name for an upcoming event aimed at recognizing various environmental organizations, local primary schools have risen to the occasion. Gargrave School helped with the poster, while Embsay children came up with "Skipton Eco Day - there is no planet B". Boyle and Petyt School has also been involved with preparations for the event. Pictures above. See Skipton Eco Day for the full story.
