A nature trail is being created in the school's new environmental garden, which has been planted with hedges, trees and a pond to encourage wildlife. Every pupil is involved in researching plants, trees and animals, to make identification plaques plaques, n.pl 1. brain lesions found within the vacant areas between nerve cells. 2. deposits of cholesterol in artery walls that characterize arteriosclerosis. which will be put on the trail.
