| Ridgewood’s extensive grounds offer opportunities for outdoor and environmental projects to take place. As a conservation ‘watch-dog’ we work together to improve things for now and with the future in mind. Students are encouraged to participate annually in National Tree Week, National Spring Clean Month and School Grounds Week, often working alongside professionals and volunteers from organisations such as the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers and Dudley Environmental Awareness Team. | ||
