Case Study:: Oldham School Green Roof

By March 9, 2010August 6th, 2021No Comments

Over on the BBC news website is a good video about a school in Oldham that was lucky enough to have a company offer to install a green roof on their building. Now the roof is used for lessons about plants and wildlife and has become a magnet for birds. Many of the kids don’t have gardens at home and tell the BBC they enjoy the school’s roof garden very much.

Chalk it up as one more reason to integrate habitat into an urban setting.
