The Great Yorkshire Show
This year's event proved to be as popular as ever and we were at the heart of all the action.
We were there on all 3 days giving away not only a number of freebies but also offereing customers advice on our latest initiatives on
water conservation,
recreation and the next phase of
'Doing the Dirty?'
Carr Green Primary School in Brighouse celebrated after being awarded the Yorkshire Conservation School of the year at this year's Great Yorkshire Show.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society and Yorkshire Water chose the school because of its obvious commitment to creating a sustainable school garden and were impressed by how the school had integrated all elements of outdoor learning into the curriculum.
Each class in the school has a large raised allotment bed to look after with the help of a volunteer from the local community who provides them with knowledge on how to sow, grow and harvest their own fruit and vegetables. These raised beds also provide an opportunity for pupils to increase their skills in areas such as maths, science, geography and environmental issues.
