Carbon Footprint is on a mission to give FREE TREES to schools
School children can plant these trees around the school grounds to enrich their environment.
Trees are awesome
Trees are so beautiful aren’t they. They give us the air we breathe and provide homes and food for both humans and wildlife. But best of all – they make us feel happy. So let’s celebrate trees by planting more of them.
Help me to support Carbon Footprint
Why not join me and sponsor a tree or even a few trees? You can even choose the area in the UK that your tree(s) will be planted in.
Free trees for schools
The UK Tree Planting project is a scheme run by Carbon Footprint who give FREE TREES to schools. They also organise corporate tree planting events.
How do schools and the environment benefit?
School children get to have fun outdoors planting young trees while working in groups. They create woodland habitats which are great for local wildlife while improving the environment for themselves and future generations of school children. The habitats they create are also enjoyed by the wider community too. The children increase their appreciation of the natural world around them and learn about the importance of biodiversity and environmental issues.
Who can sponsor a tree?
Anyone can sponsor one or more trees to be planted by school children. That includes both individuals and businesses of course. Primary, secondary and higher education schools receive their free tree packs containing canes and rabbit guard spirals which protect the trees as they grow. The packs also include instructions and guidance about how to plant and care for the trees.
Who are Carbon Footprint?
Carbon Footprint is a company helping businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint through their Carbon Offsetting Projects.
