“ Working alongside Rob Reid from St Patrick ’ s School , and seeing the generosity from the supply chain , has demonstrated the importance of , and passion for , community in this region .
“ There ’ s a big focus on STEM resources in the region , and while the community benefits from the incredible technology developed here , the positive effects of enjoying and embracing nature are endless . The Nature School is an investment in the best interests of our community , environment , and future .
“ We couldn ’ t have achieved such an impressive result without the vision and expertise of Arborscape , who blew us all away with their extensive knowledge of the natural world . It is thanks to Sam Pagett ( Business Owner at Arborscape ) and his team that the space is home to native plants that are suited to the landscape , and the surrounding trees are healthy and free from diseases . Arborscape also created bird and insect boxes with the surplus wood which will be perfect for attracting wildlife .”
LANDSCAPING SERVICES
Rob Reid said : “ The area where the Nature School now sits was an overgrown patch of wasteland , much of which was too boggy to use . As a school , we identified the need to provide usable outdoor learning space to enhance the curriculum and pupil well-being . We also wanted to provide a space that could be used by the wider community groups in the area . Working with the school , Arborscape , Sellafield , and the supply chain , we have delivered a truly one-of-a-kind resource for the school and local groups .
