Nicola Davidson, our Education and Learning Officer, then visited Braes High School in Falkirk, Treetop Family Nurture Centre in Fife and Currie Community High School in Edinburgh to present commendations and certificates.
Jonathan Angell, our Gaelic Education and Learning Officer, rounded the month off with visits to Chatelherault Primary School and Hamilton Grammar School in South Lanarkshire to present them both with certificates for their 10th Green Flags.
Barry Fisher, our Chief Executive, commented: “This year we celebrate 30 years of schools making an environmental difference through Eco-Schools.
“It’s great that we were able to visit these schools to present a certificate of achievement and to hear from the children, young people and educators about their inspiring action and commitment to improving our environment.
“For the past 30 years we have loved hearing about the remarkable achievements of our young people and the development of learning for sustainability across the world, and we look forward to continuing to provide support through our Climate Action Schools framework.”
Eco-Schools is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world operated internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and delivered by Keep Scotland Beautiful. It was launched in the UK four nations, Denmark and Germany in 1994 with Scotland.
