Here's some pictures of the school hazel project we have been working on with Atlantic Hazel Action Group member Sandy Coppins. The children are helping with a wee experiment to see if hazel nuts might have colonised Scotland after the last ice age by sea: floating across from Ireland. Having collected the nuts on a damp autumnal day, the children set about sorting their haul
Some of the nuts have been put in salt water to see if they will still germinate after immersion in salt water
Others were planted immediately as a control: that meant dirty hands for some of the helpers!
