Thank you for your interest in our Trees for Schools Fund, part of our Tree Futures grant programme.
This grant is open to all Schools within the United Kingdom with pupils aged sixteen or under.
For ideas to inspire children to plant trees in their schools and celebrate this experience creatively as part of their curriculum, see our Tree Ties CD.
For alternative ideas on exciting things to do with your School grounds, you can visit the website of Love School Grounds.
