Lee-on-the-Solent youngsters plant hedge at Alver Valley Country Park
DIGGING Lee-on-the-Solent schoolchildren plant a hedge in the Alver Valley helped by Gosports countryside officer Fred Gibson
INFANT school children put on their gardening gloves to plant new bushes at a country park.
Around 90 youngsters from Lee-on-the-Solent Infant School dug in to create a new hedgerow at the Alver Valley Country Park in Cherque Way.
The planting day was organised as part of a £17,500 community project run by the Lee-on-the-Solent Residents’ Association.
It was partly funded by the Veolia Environmental Trust which donated £16,000.
The six-month improvement project is due to be completed in the spring.
It aims to encourage more people to use the open spaces in the Alver Valley.
