School Gets Green Fingers
Mar 2009
Glengarnock Primary School in Beith received a hoard of gardening goodies which were donated by The William Tracey Group to help create a garden which will add to the School's eco credentials.
Excited pupils met the William Tracey delivery van on the playing field and watched excitedly as bags of Decor Chip, which is manufactured by The William Tracey Group from recycled timber; recycled tyres and some recovered sleepers were unloaded. The van also delivered bags of compost, which is generated from local green waste at William Tracey's Land Services division, as well as gardening gloves and spades.
