Allotment Masterclass visited The University of Aberdeen Zoology Department on Wednesday 24th September. Their aim was to learn about different "mini-beasts" which live in the garden, while investigating how what we plant and grow will either help or hinder their survival. The young people then went on a tour of the botanical gardens looking for the different "mini-beasts". The young people had a great time and loved seeing the stuffed animals in the museum!

The young people from the Allotment Masterclass took part in a Beach Clean with Lauren from East Grampian Costal Partnership (https://www.egcp.scot/) on 25th September. The young people collected 19kg of litter which included a large metal sheet, Vauxhall car keys and a vape.

The young people from the Allotment Masterclass have been busy planting trees around the allotment area. The trees were donated by the Woodland Trust. The young people will continue to plant trees so in future years there is a wildlife corridor around the playing field to improve biodiversity around the school site.
