Diana Wallis MEP with pupils and staff at New Park School

Diana Wallis MEP recently visited the Secret Railway Garden wildlife project at New Park School in Harrogate.

Pupils showed off the wild flowers and bird boxes around the garden, close to the old railway line which also is home to a replica steam engine.

Diana Wallis, voted the greenest MEP in the region by Friends of the Earth and a keen environmentalist, also visited the school's heritage centre and took the chance to chat to the children.

She said:

"I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and the knowledge that the youngsters have on the environment."

The garden was created with support from parent Jill Clarke, teacher Val Gowland-Jones and the Bilton Conservation Group.
