Limavady children join in tree growing initiative
Every pupil at a Limavady school was today given a sapling as part of an innovative campaign to encourage more tree planting in the North West.
The Trees of the North West initiative - a joint venture between the Department for Social Development and the Conservation Volunteers - was officially launched at Drumachose Primary School by Margaret Miskelly, Deputy Director of the North West Development Office.
Commenting on the campaign, Mrs Miskelly said: “This is a natural development from the original ‘Trees in the City’ project which was first launched in Londonderry in 1997. This partnership with Conservation Volunteers was very successful and we are now delighted to extend it to the Limavady and Strabane areas."
The objectives of the initiative are to improve the environmental quality of the area, with over three thousand trees being distributed.
