Schools

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.

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.

Free education resources

All of our planting activities are supported by free education resources. Our Nature Detectives website offers young people opportunities to explore the connections between trees, wildlife and wider environmental issues such as climate change. Enjoy a whole range of fun and educational activities at www.naturedetectives.org.uk
