This was done with a breaking of ground, planting of the first tree and installation of a bench donated by the Rotary Club of Barbados.They were joined by members of the Rotary Club of Barbados ,The Principal, Teachers and staff.
Dalenis Goddard, Vice President of the Interact Club shared that the ‘Green Space’ initiative seeks to promote environmental wellness and awareness, and by extension, invite all students of the Lodge School to be active participants in creating an environmentally friendly school and ultimately, an environmentally friendly world. It is the intention that the space becomes a legacy project which would be a trademark of the school for years to come.
Dalenis further stated, “the world which we are so blessed cannot be saved by none other than those who dwell therein. Thus, we join with many environmentalists around the world and Rotarians in doing our part to preserve and promote the environment.”
The green space will include the planting of garden beds to produce fresh herbs like thyme and parsley which can be reaped and sold for sustainability. It would also include flowers for beautification, a bird bath, rock path, benches to promote rest and relaxation, painted recycling pins, painted rocks and signage about the importance of preserving the environment and the promotion of peace.
