Learning

Children the world over love getting covered in mud and playing in the garden, discovering all the bugs and worms and whatever else they can find. This natural curiosity is what we hope to build upon by establishing small nurseries within local schools where the children learn about the diverse benefits of growing trees. We will also show them how to look after them and this will help develop a sense of ownership and responsibility about the surrounding environment.

Encouragement

Children from different local schools will be encouraged to grow the trees from seeds into healthy seedlings and will be allowed to take the trees home to plant in their gardens where they continue to care for them. At the end of each year we will hold a small event offering different prizes for the most engaged ‘Ecosystem Champion’. Children who have shown determination and commitment in growing their own trees will be awarded small prizes.
