Community Roots: School Eco Council Plants at New Wynnstay Offices

Wynnstay PLC > ESG > Community Roots: School Eco Council Plants at New Wynnstay Offices

Members of the Eco Council at Llansantffraid Primary School visited the newly developed Wynnstay House in Llansantffraid-Ym-Mechain. 

 

The group consists of children of various ages who collectively work on local outdoor projects, it empowers young people to lead environmental improvements in their schools and beyond, developing crucial skills and a sense of global responsibility. 

 

The pupils were invited to plant native species at the front of the offices, supplied by the Derwen Garden Centre. The addition of this planted area will help encourage pollinators as well as creating a welcoming view for visitors and Wynnstay colleagues.

 

 

We are very proud of the work that our Eco-council has carried out. They have worked on projects with the Community Council planting bulbs around the village and fruit trees in the community garden. We often carry out litter picking around the sports field and have collaborated with ‘Keep Wales Tidy’ to and the community to carry out litter picks across the village. Within the school the Eco-council promotes various initiatives such as No Electricity Day, Walk to School Week and the RSPB’s Big Schools’ Birdwatch. – Mrs Davies, Llansantffraid CiWA Primary School.
 

I am delighted to announce the opening of Wynnstay House,  this investment in rural workspaces is part of our greater vision which we hope to continue with future developments that will benefit our teams and the local community. – Alk Brand, CEO of Wynnstay Group PLC
