Native Tree Planting up at Lochaber Rural Complex

On a very hot day in May, the children spent a morning planting native trees on a grassy bank near to the Rural Education Centre. We planted Willow, Birch and Scots Pine. It was interesting to look at the different soil types on the site - we planted the willow on the wetter areas. It was great to put something back, to help improve the habitat, in this special wild place where we have been doing so many fun activities.
