Let It Bloom:Go Pesticide Free

At All Saints’ we endeavour to do our bit for Climate Action.

This year Stranooden  Group Water Scheme connected with our school to participate in  their Community Initiative to protect the local drinking water sources and to help the bees, butterflies and wildlife in our gardens.

The title of their Initiative is “Let It Bloom, Go Pesticide Free”.

The pupils learned about the dangers of Pesticides and about how they  can be harmful to other living things in our gardens. Ireland is losing plants, insects , bugs ,bees and ecosystems.

To halt the decline we can create habitats in our gardens for as many native species and ecosystems as possible.

The children learned that we all have a role to play and not to use pesticides.

Each child and every teacher was   given a Native tree to plant in their gardens and to pass on the message at home to stop using Pesticide.
