City pupils grow green for award
Representatives of Stewart’s Melville College were awarded the prestigious Blake Shield.
Sponsored by the British Naturalists’ Association, the award, recognising outstanding contributions made to ecological, wildlife and conservation issues, attracted hundreds of entries from groups and individuals. Judges were impressed by a detailed investigation of wildlife on the Carbisdale Estate, in Sutherland, carried out by the fourth year class.
Pupils Fraser Riddell, Sebastien Bartholomew, Malcolm Buchanan, Nicholas Bull, David Clark, Andrew Massie and Paul Summers were honoured at a ceremony at London’s Imperial College last week.
