Salmon in the Classroom

Three primary schools have won prizes for their work on the Salmon in the Classroom project run by the Trust this year. Kelburn (Largs), Sacred Heart (Girvan) and Kincaidston (Ayr) primaries produced excellent art work during the course of the project which runs from February to June each year, and the Trust biologist Pete Minting, who manages the project, presented the awards at the end of term.

A total of 14 schools took part in 2008, the largest number of schools to take part since the project began in 2003. Funds for the project have been secured from a number of sources including the Big Lottery Fund Fairshare Trust, Scottish National Heritage, The William Grant & Sons Fund, Spirit Aerosystems and local councils. 

An original artwork of a salmon by a local artist was given to each of the winning schools.
