35,000 will fund the continued involvement of 1000 children in planting 1000 trees every year until 2025, provide opportunities to visit their wood and support an outreach programme to other communities.

Families will learn from their children about the climate crisis & the need for environmental change. Globally, our impact will be a small one but, as these young children grow and become the next generation of decision makers, they WILL have the information and awareness needed to live in harmony with nature. And if this model is replicated...
