Staff from education resources company TTS Group Ltd, of Kirkby, went into Berry Hill Primary School, Mansfield, to help improve an area of the school grounds.

They cleared an area of rough ground, removed weeds and created a wildlife space, complete with a bug house and compost heap.

The initiative was supported by Mansfield District Council, which removed the garden waste that was unable to be recycled in the school’s wildlife area.

The project improved a space that can now be used by the Foundation team for outdoor play.

Head Susan Brown said: “We are very grateful to TTS for allowing their staff to take time out of their working day to come and help us.

“We also want to thank the team who worked extremely hard clearing weeds, cutting undergrowth back and being very creative.”

Irina Bartlett, TTS product manager, said: “We were amazed about what we created with the things that we found during the clear-up.”
