As part of a combined John Muir and Horticulture event the students from Bishop Barrington completed the pruning, trimming and maintenance of a hedge at Hackworth Park in Shildon, working in partnership with park staff. Once the students were finished this allowed better and easier access for pedestrians and visitors to the park to walk unimpeded along the adjacent path, especially people with pushchairs. The group worked exceptionally hard and were frequently complemented by passers by. Their work towards achieving both their horticulture qualification and John Muir awards were discussed with these passers-by.
