Apple trees have been donated to five schools in Herefordshire.
FCC Environment delivered the trees to Withington School, Sutton Primary School, St Francis Xavier's School, Marden Primary School, and Madley School.
The company, which was appointed by Herefordshire Council to handle waste and recycling services from September 2024, made this donation as part of its social value commitment.
Councillor Elissa Swinglehurst said: "I’d like to offer a big thank you to FCC for committing to our social values and they are beginning to deliver on this commitment by donating these to schools who were able to request them.
"It is so important to plant new trees; the blossom will be appreciated by pollinators and I’m sure the fruit will be enjoyed by the pupils of these schools."
Paul Deamer, contract manager for FCC Environment, said: "It gives us great joy to be donating these trees to local schools where they can bear fruit for years to come."
