CHILDREN at Charford First went back to nature when rangers helped them plant trees and hedges around the school grounds.

The Charford Road school was given a grant from the Tree Council, which promotes the planting of trees, and rangers from the Duckworth Trust dropped in to show the little ones how to plant them. Joanna Smith, the school's environmental education co-ordinator, said: "The children had a wonderful time and really benefited from learning how to plant trees."
