Who says that students don’t care about the environment. Conservation plays a big part in the A level Leisure Studies course and a small group of students on this course undertook some conservation work just last week.
The clearance work was on the Alderbrook, as part of the A2 Leisure Studied “In the Outdoors” module, which requires students to plan and take part in a project of their design and choice.
We did this on Friday and we had a lovely afternoon, as the sun shone. We were well prepared, done up as we were in wellies and waders borrowed from the Geography department. We had black bin bags, gloves and grabber sticks and set about the task with enthusiasm, as you can see from the photos!
The students spent the entire afternoon clearing from the source of the Alderbrook to the bridge outside the college entrance in the park and cleared six industrial sized black bags of rubbish found in the Alderbrook.
We had a very productive afternoon and covered part of the assignment requirements in the process. I must thank the students involved, who were:
- Samantha Kruger
- David Griffiths
- Mark Stannion (Project Leader)
- Liam Styler
- Jamie Grenfell
- Jamie Hay
- Alex Griffin
