Green living at Crookfur Primary
Around 60 children from the Newton Mearns school and Cleeves Primary in Glasgow helped launch the green guide, written by Dams to Darnley ranger Eilidh Milne to be distributed to every nursery, primary and secondary in East Ren, as well as Hillpark, St Paul’s and their feeder schools in Glasgow.
To mark the occasion, Crookfur kids invited Eilidh and fellow rangers to lead a bug hunt in the school’s newly completed woodland.
