Berwick Parish Church
Some of our pupils from Year 4 collaborated with Berwick Parish Church on an environmental project, in which the pupils designed and built a range of hedgehog houses and bug hotels. These are being well used by their inhabitants! The Church is continuing to work to enrich the biodiversity in the churchyard with planting, wilding, erecting bird and bat boxes and keeping bees and are now hoping to install solar panels on the roof; this could reduce carbon emissions by 1,931 kg of CO2 each year, equivalent to the emissions of a car journey of 6897 miles. Pupils at Longridge have taken part in a short film which gives more information about the church's carbon neutral project, which aims to raise £10,000 in conjunction with the Aviva Community Fund who provide live match funding. 

Pupils have also assisted in work to install solar panels on the church roof.

Aims: Improving the biodiversity of the churchyard.

Pupil Involvement: All pupils.

Frequency: On-going.
