Going on a nurdle hunt along the Scottish coast, counting up and weighing a week’s worth of waste for a recycling project, and visiting local project ‘Waste Busters’ to find out ways to reduce landfill are just a few of the eco projects that children at Stramash Elgin in northeast Scotland have been involved in this year.
At this outdoor setting, where children have spent just one day in the past year indoors, the children have the opportunity to explore the 30 acres of woodland and paddocks owned by Stramash, a chain of three social enterprise nurseries. At the hub of the setting, there is a yurt, a parachute canopy, which is used for weather protection, a campfire pit for daily cooking and a pallet of camping toilets and nappy-changing facilities.
