Pupils of Milford on Sea Primary School have helped New Milton Sand and Ballast (NMSB) unveil a new orchard, located at Downton Manor Farm Quarry in Milford on Sea.
Working in partnership with The Bumblebee Conservation Trust, the new orchard has been created to benefit local wildlife and will become an important new space for the community.
NMSB’s team were joined at Downton Manor Farm Quarry earlier in February by the primary school students, along with volunteers from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, and their CEO, Gill Perkins.
Pupils spent the day learning about the importance of trees as food source for bees, as well as being taught how to plant, prune and maintain a healthy tree.
Pupils then planted the final trees in the orchard, marking the project’s completion.
