The National Trust is welcoming pupils from Brookside Primary School to get involved in protecting the estate’s wildlife so that users of the new Crow Wood Playscape will be able to enjoy the full benefits and experiences of playing in the wild.
Construction for the Crow Wood Playscape is now well underway, and young people from around the region will soon be able to enjoy the imaginative play experiences that the innovative and natural facility will have to offer. The Playscape’s setting in the heart of Crow Wood should ensure young visitors will have the chance to see and explore the wildlife in a living woodland.
Brookside Primary School is the ‘Guardianship School’ for Lyme Park, and pupils will be living up to this role by making bird and bat boxes that will be installed in the trees around the new Playscape to encourage nesting.
The budding wildlife enthusiasts will be planting mushroom plugs into deadwood from the woodland, and taking them back to school to study the different species that they can grow, as well as studying the flora and fauna present at Lyme Park.
