1. Stonesfield Primary School Eco-Council are… Young Foresters! Approved by the national charity:

2. What have we been doing? First we identified all the trees on our playing fields. Jen and Paul from the Sylva Foundation helped us. Paul is a Forester and his job is identifying trees, planting new trees and using the wood from the trees. Foresters also plant trees for wildlife.

3. We want to create a new quiet area here! The old quiet area is now a Forest School site. We want to create a new quiet area called the ‘Enchanted Garden’! We chose a corner of the playing field next to the playing field. We drew sketch maps.

4. We did sketch maps of our ideas for the quiet area.. We want to make a new hedge to climb through! We would like to plant more fruit trees! We think everyone would like seats and a willow shelter to provide quiet places and a buddy bench We want to increase places for wildlife to live.

5. Little OneOak! Remember the story of the OneOak tree that our school was involved in? Some of the acorns were planted from the big OneOak We have a 4 year old Little OneOak to plan in our new quiet area!

6. We measured the new quiet area We did an estimate of the area by counting our steps We did an accurate measurement of the area using a tape measure We need to know measurement sto work out how many trees we can plant.

7. Here is our final plan! We put all our ideas onto a big map and discussed which ones we would choose for the final plan. We would still like your ideas and comments!

8. Lots of people are helping us! Blenheim Foresters will help plant the trees and new hedge, make a bench and bring us wood! WonderWood are building us a willow shelter for free! Nicholsons are giving us trees and hedges at reduced price!

9. When will this happen? @ The Big Plant! Friday March 11 th 2016 The location of the new Enchanted Garden …what will it look like after March 11 th ?

10. Tree planting song! SING Plant a tree, plant a tree Help it grow, help it grow Be a forest, be a forest Watch the wildlife, watch the wildlife!
