3 schools in Bankgok capped off their nursery programmes this week planting their seedlings with PATT. St Andrews, Shrewsbury, and French Lycee all completed the final stage of the nursery with students as young as 3 getting involved!

Shrewsbury International School kicked off the week with their Duke of Edinburgh students planting their nursery trees at the Song Khanong community forest in Phra Phradaeng on Sunday the 22nd. This is the second year Shrewsbury DoE students have run the nursery programme and it gives the students a great chance to learn about nature while taking action themselves in their own time.

St Andrews International School Sukhumvit campus followed up with their year 9 students also venturing to Song Khanong to plant out their nursery trees and learn about the programmes being developed by the Royal Forestry Department in Phra Phradaeng with community forests. This is the second year for St Andrews year 9 as well and the school is keen to continue the successful initiative next year.

Finally the French Lycee Intenational School mobilised around 70 of their nursery students yesterday - some as young as 3 years old - to plant their trees at Suan Sii Nakorn Khuan Khun park managed by the Royal Forestry Department in Phra Phradaeng.

All events were great successes keeping in focus the theme of the nursery programme: Taking Action. The aim is to inspire future generations to become stewards of the earth and care for our environment through action centred programmes.
