More schools and community groups in Ealing are being encouraged by The Woodland Trust to sign up to an initiative that offers free trees to grow and are delivered in March 2023.
Applications for spring, are currently open, but only until 11 January 2023
Since autumn 2017, they have had 11 Ealing schools have taken part and many more could also benefit from the scheme which has planted 510 trees in total.
Woodland Trust senior project lead Vicki Baddeley said: “With Christmas looming upon us, now really is a good time to get those applications in and ensure you don’t miss out. We still have lots of trees available but with schools breaking up before you know it, and the hectic holiday period around the corner, it makes sense to get organised nice and early and avoid a last-minute rush in early January.”
The Trust’s tree packs are funded by lead partners: Sainsbury’s, Lloyds Bank, OVO Energy, Bank of Scotland and Sofology.
Ms Baddeley added: “Planting trees is such a simple action, but the collective impact can make a huge difference. It’s a great way for schoolchildren and community groups to learn about nature and the environment and, at the same time, embrace a “Green Christmas”.
