Pupils have planted more than 100 wildflowers to create a biodiversity-rich meadow.
The project took place at Ysgol y Faenol in Bodelwyddan and was supported by the Denbighshire County Council Biodiversity team.
It builds on pupils’ earlier work this year, which included planting more than 1,000 trees on the school grounds.
The children also helped build a living willow dome, a sustainable structure that doubles as a natural habitat and learning space.
Ellie Wainwright, biodiversity officer, said: "We enjoyed being back at Ysgol y Faenol following working with the pupils to plant all the trees and the fun we had with them creating the willow dome.
"They and the staff are really passionate about supporting nature and this latest project to create the meadow will help create a fantastic habitat for all animals and plants around the school grounds."
The new meadow supports pollinators and provides a hands-on, outdoor learning environment.
Pupils planted more than 100 wildflowers, including field scabious, red campion, oxeye daisy, wild carrot, and knapweed.
Plants were sourced from the council’s tree nursery in St Asaph and the Woodland Skills Centre in Bodfari.
Emlyn Jones, Denbighshire County Council’s head of planning, public protection and countryside services, said: "It’s brilliant that these children have had the opportunity to learn about all the benefits creating a wildflower meadow can deliver through our Biodiversity team and well done to them all for digging deep to help plant such an important asset for supporting their local nature."
