Tree-mendous effort by school children and their festive green gifts

Children at Clifton Primary School have spent the final few days of their term planting Christmas trees.

The trees were donated by Clifton-based Fairways Garden Centre and the project was carried out as part of BBC Countryfile's Plant Britain campaign.

The national two-year project aims to see 750,000 trees planted – one for every UK primary school starter in 2020.
