Dales schools given cash help for green projects
Two schools in the Yorkshire Dales are celebrating after being given cash help for important green projects.
Sedbergh School and Embsay Primary School near Skipton asked the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority’s Sustainable Development Fund, managed on behalf of the Authority by the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, for help after devising eco-friendly projects that would benefit the pupils and their local communities.
Embsay School received more than £3,000 towards composting equipment while the Sedbergh School Foundation, which provides independent financial support for Sedbergh School, received more than £18,000 towards the cost of installing solar panels.
The projects will help the schools cut costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
