Students at Wiltshire College & University Centre are planting 800 metres of hedgerow and dozens of trees at the Lackham campus as part of a sustainability initiative funded by the Great Western Community Forest project. The project will establish 4,000 hedgerow plants along a new path, with a tree planted every 15 metres.

This initiative aims to enhance carbon capture and biodiversity, using native species such as Hornbeam, Hazel, and English Oak. Over 40 agriculture students are participating, and further planting is planned if additional funding is secured.
