Waterside Community Trust Goes Into Local Schools To Plant Trees

Students at St Mary's and Wootton Primary.

As part of a successful grant application, Waterside Pool was able to purchase more than 300 saplings.

Some of these were planted at the Waterside site itself, with the rest being distributed to local schools to plant and grow on their school grounds.

This may seem a bit of a unusual project for a local swimming pool, however Todd Miller the General Manager applied for the grant in an effort to improve the local wildlife, air quality and as a way of giving back to the schools that support the centre. 

The schools involved in the project were Wootton, Godshill, Five Ways, Queensgate, St Marys, Haylands, Brading, Ryde School and Greenmount.
