Learning in and about woodland and nature can bring the school curriculum to life in meaningful and memorable ways. To help schools get the most out of this experience we are piloting and developing new educational resources and projects to engage pupils while meeting teachers' needs.
Schools planting programmes
As part of Tree For All we will be delivering schools planting programmes at numerous sites across the UK. These programmes, which vary in length from a day to a fortnight will offer thousands of schoolchildren the chance to help create new woodland. As well as being able to plant trees (a first for many) pupils will enjoy a variety of fun outdoor learning activities led by professional leaders.
Free trees for schools
School grounds in need of TLC can benefit from a free pack of 30 native trees (enough for a small grove or short length of hedge) which come with guidance on planting and maintenance plus curriculum-linked activities. There is more information here. Download the resources here.
Free education resources
All of our planting activities are supported by a range of free education resources. Additional educational resources can be found at our Wild About Woods website.
Nature Detectives
In addition to resources to support tree planting, our Nature Detectives programme offers young people opportunities to explore the connections between trees, their wildlife and wider environmental issues such as climate change.
