A PROJECT to restore a school trail in memory of a little boy who died of cancer has partnered with an organisation half way across the world.
The Branden's Trail project at Bridport Primary School has been making great strides in recent weeks, including its partnership with Green Legacy Hiroshima.
Based in Hiroshima, Japan, the aim of the organisation is to share the seeds of trees thought to have been destroyed by the atomic bombing in 1945. When, against all expectations, these trees began to show signs of life, they gave hope to many who were suffering.
Green Legacy Hiroshima has partners in 36 countries worldwide, with ten partners in the UK – the 11th will be Branden’s Trail.
Town surveyor Daryl Chambers and his team have begun preparing the groundwork for Branden’s Trail at Bridport Primary School.
The project will restore a memorial to five-year old Branden Wayland, who died of cancer, whilst also creating a calm and friendly refuge for any child who, for whatever reason, needs support and reassurance.
For more information or to support the project in any way email Daryl.Chambers@bridport-tc.gov.uk or a.c.woodgate@btinternet.com
