THIS group of Worcester high school pupils have helped improvements to a city park by planting trees.

About 20 pupils from Regency High School, aged between 14 and 16, helped to plant seven oak and hornbeams in Warndon Park, Shap Drive.

The pupils, who are part of the school’s land-based studies group, helped dig the holes and planted the trees along the footpath where new play features will be installed over the next three months.

Warwick Neale, park green network officer for Worcester City Council, said: “It went extremely well.

The students are very keen to come back and help us plant wildflowers in March.”
