WORLD LAND TRUST VISIT – Tuesday 21 February
As part of this term’s topic ‘Rainforests and the Tropics’ pupils in classes KT, RV and PLDD are meeting with a team from the World Land Trust, to learn about their work as an international conservation organisation that takes direct action to save rainforest and other wildlife habitats. WLT and its overseas project partners have been instrumental in the purchase and protection of over 500,000 acres, now protected as permanent wildlife reserves.
Please see their website for more information: http://www.worldlandtrust.org.
The school and the Friends will make a charitable donation to the charity for their visit
