The team at Glasgow Wood Recycling has been working extensively with around 90 Eco Schools in Scotland over the past 3 years, mainly in the Glasgow City area.
Across the city people have been working hard to transform playgrounds and neglected green spaces into thriving growing areas. We regularly visit schools to assess their needs and wants in terms of improving and developing the ecological impact of their school grounds using environmentally friendly materials and affordable reclaimed wood products, such as locally reclaimed barrel planters, seating, raised beds and bird boxes.
We offer a friendly service which covers environmental advice and information as well as hands-on and practical activities, including:
- Advice and information on waste awareness and minimisation
- Presentations to pupils and staff
- Activity workshops
- Products for school grounds made from recycled wood and other materials
- Workshops and Activities for children – making planters, boxes and bird boxes
- Collections of wood waste
Have a look around our site to see some pictures from some of the Eco Schools we have been working with recently.
The kids from Laurieston Day Nursery grew wild flowers in their raised beds (above).
Please note that schools enjoy a 10% discount on raised beds.
