QUOTES
' Our woodland has completely affected the ethos of the school. We now live both visually and emotionally in a softer greener place.' John Burns - Head Teacher, Granton Primary School.

'The children have ownership of the trees & bulbs they have planted and feel that they have made a difference to their playground and to the community. They have created a green oasis in an inner city area.'
Pat Bowers - Deputy Head Teacher, Greendykes Primary School.


'We have planted trees and bulbs. It was good fun. Now we've got Scots Pine and Holly trees. We play games around them. Some children hide in the trees. '
Jack Donaldson - Primary 4 Greendykes Primary School, Edinburgh.


'The trees will grow and will look like a forest. There will be lots of animals like squirrels, hedgehogs and birds. We will call it Greendykes Forest.'
Richard Milligan- Primary 4 Greendykes Primary School.

'The pupils were all very involved in a sensory and experiential way when planting trees in Sighthill Park. The teachers were thrilled with the possibilities given to the pupils not only through the task itself but through the approach used by the people involved.'
Helen Massaro - Assistant Headteacher, Oaklands School.


'We at Currie are extremely grateful to the Edinburgh Urban Forest Project. We had long held a dream that we may one-day link our patches of trees to form a wildlife corridor stretching across and reaching out to other tree areas in Currie. A massive planting programme was the only solution and the project fulfilled a need and a dream. Now the entire perimeter of the school is planted with native Scottish trees and our Corridor is a reality. Thank you.'
Roley Walton - Retired Teacher, Currie High School.
