Volunteers from Yorkshire Water’s £36 million Pudsey Beck project have been improving the outdoor spaces at Pudsey Southroyd Primary School to welcome more nature to the school grounds and help support play and outdoor learning.
In partnership with Bradford-based non-profit, Participate Projects, colleagues from Yorkshire Water, Kier Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks, Mott MacDonald Bentley, Peter Duffy Ltd. and Tilbury Douglas spent a day volunteering to improve the school’s outdoor area for when the children return after the Easter break.
The volunteers created a new woodchip outdoor play area for the nursery, built handmade wooden benches for outdoor classroom areas in the woodland, and constructed a bird hide to encourage children to get closer to nature.
