STREETS Ahead is still inspiring schools across the city to get involved in their local communities.
Primaries, secondaries and nurseries are backing our campaign to build a better Glasgow, one street at a time.
Shawlands Academy is leading the way with a raft of green-fingered and community-minded initiatives. Third year pupils in the South Side school's XL group helped to plant 60 trees in Queen's Park as part of their Streets Ahead support.
Caragh Scott, 13 and Kieran Anwar, 14, joined classmates and countryside rangers for the project. Caragh explained: "It was a great experience. We did a lot of preparation work in the classroom and then went into the park with the countryside rangers to carry out the planting. In the end we planted around 60 rowan, royal oak, cherry and birch trees."
Kieran added: "We split into two teams and worked hard for most of the day. It was great to see it all finished and it will look fantastic in the spring. We plan to go back to the park to do more Streets Ahead work in the summer."
