Pupils at Bridgewater School in Worsley are planting for the future to commemorate the past.
They took part in a tree planting ceremony to mark the 50th anniversary of the Blackrod-based construction firm Allen Group which has pledged to plant 50 trees at developments around the country.
Subsidiary Allen Design + Build, based in Wigan, has just completed a £1million extension at Bridgewater School and managing director Jeff Sawyer thought it appropriate to plant the first of the 50 trees there.
