Morris Property supports forest school learning with a donation
Morris Property has donated £250 towards new bench vices for Apley Wood Primary Academy Forest School in Telford.
The donation will help the school to continue providing its pupils with outdoor learning experiences, which have shown to have several benefits for children's development and education.
