School helps to Make Space for Nature in Liskeard

The next generation have taken an active role in the future of Castle Park, Liskeard with children from St Martin’s School constructing a bug hotel at the site on Friday 16th July.

The activity took place as part of the Making Space for Nature Project Celebration event, at which Liskeard's Mayor, Simon Cassidy made the point that “those who plant trees are not the ones that sit in their shade; doing so is a commitment to the future”, in his opening remarks.

The pupils also made wishes on the magical 'wicker tree', including that the hotel will provide a home to a host of mini-beasts, with many of them saying how much they are looking forward to visiting the site throughout the summer to see the new residents it will attract!
