A group of 15 pupils visited The Lake in Strichen on Wednesday 25th September to take part in part of the official opneing of 'The Formartine & Buchan Way. The group were met at the old railway line by rangers from the Aberdeenshire Ranger Service and Councilor Lenny Pirie and other locals who had come along to take part.
The pupils, from all stages of the school, all helped to plant some wild flowers along a stretch of the walk adjacent to Brewery Road. They all really enjoyed the activity and were told that the flowers they were planting would thrive in the woodland area and would hopefully flower in early springtime next year.
To mark the event they all received a 'goody bag' with some information about 'The Formartine and Buchan Way' which is a walking route which satretches for 53 miles!
Thery all really enjoyed the trip and they told their fellow classmates about the visit on their return.
