King William Street School Church Council helped to plant native saplings at Christ Church Old Town.
The project was part of the church Eco Group’s ongoing plan to increase biodiversity within the grounds.
Once grown the saplings will provide shelter and food for birds and small mammals.
Sarah Prevost, a teacher at King William Street School, said the children were very excited to be helping with the planting and were looking forward to seeing the saplings grow in future years, into mature trees.
Anne Grainger, Chair of Christ Church Eco Group, said: “We are delighted that the children have joined us in this very special project. They are, after all, our future, and what we do now to promote and conserve the natural environment for them is vital."
The saplings were donated by the Woodland Trust.
