A mosaic roundel was unveiled today @ Westerfield station. Adopter Sandy Burn came up with the idea. Entitled 'Pollinators,' it features a butterfly/wasp/hoverfly/bumblebee/beetle/moth & is inspired by wildlife seen in the station garden. It's made of old crockery/tiles.

The school run is the #1 source of school carbon emissions, outweighing heating and electricity, according to a new report from Eco Schools and @keepbritaintidy.bsky.social 💨🌿
Walking and wheeling to school reduces pollution and cuts down on chaos at the school gates - it's a win-win!
