The Earth Society Foundation, New York, an international organisation promoting peace and care for the planet has awarded Harleston Sancroft Academy Primary Phase its Earth Trustee Certificate for the pupils work to help the town launch Harleston’s Nature Recovery … WeCan programme.
The school were presented with their Earth Trustee Certificates by Cllr Trevor Graham, Chair of Redenhall with Harleston Town Council on behalf of the Earth Society Foundation, New York.
Cllr Graham, praised the energy and enthusiasm of the school in rising to the challenge, adding that the pupils thoroughly deserved recognition for the support on environmental projects the school had shown over the years.
"I am thrilled that the school’s work is being recognised. Helping our community to launch ‘Nature Recovery’ is the most recent in a series of environmental initiatives which pupil’s have helped to promote. I sincerely hope that where the children lead, the rest of us will follow. The future of the natural world depends on it."
At the presentation Cllr Graham also collected the decorated cut out butterflies and messages the children have prepared telling of how they will help wildlife. These will form a large display in St John’s Church, Harleston as part of the public launch of the initiative on 11 March.
Speaking from New York, Mary Carlin, Board Member of Earth Society Foundation complimented the school’s commitment which reflected perfectly the Foundation’s message to encourage every individual and organisation to think and act as an Earth Trustee, to foster a sustainable future for our planet.
"There could be no better way to help the cause than being at the forefront of nature recovery. I wish the school and community well and every success."
