We have welcomed in the New Year in the best way possible: inviting hundreds of young people to plant trees in the Future Forest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sylva’s staff, Education Manager Jen Hurst and volunteer Pieternel Overweel<\/a>, have been working closely with 20 primary school classes (500 children) thanks to funding from Tesco Bags of Help and the Ernest Cook Trust.<\/p>\n

During January we have been visiting the schools to talk about trees, forestry and tree planting. All the children will be visiting the site of the Future Forest to plant their trees during February. These young students are excited to be joining the Sylva Tree Team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to preparing the primary schools we’ve been welcoming secondary school students and special needs groups, thanks to collaboration with Earth Trust<\/a> who have long-established links with local schools.<\/p>\n

The 600+ children helping us plant the new woodland will be a long way forward in a journey learning about and taking responsibility for the environment, after all:<\/p>\n

“All human beings should plant one tree for every year that they live on Earth.”
