• Planted wildflowers and ivy behind the Art Block
• Produced publicity to encourage young people to improve biodiversity and reduce their carbon footprints
• Worked on habitat clearance for 2 days at Swaddywell Pit
• Made bird feeders and hung them in trees around the campus
• Presented their findings and developed personal and business skills.
