After a group of Y5 children requested to plant some trees, we came together with Protect Earth and have designed a mini-forest. Some kind corporate volunteers are going to help the children plant several hundred saplings on the 20th November.

The mini-forest will be at the far end of the playing field, and will have four different segments with wide paths in between the trees and a central area for children to gather and play in the shade during the summer.

Protect Earth have helped us get funding for most of the trees, but we are raising £1,500 to contribute 50p per sapling plus some additional funding for benches and signs. The school's PTA will also contribute some funds, and I will contribute some local priority fund as the local councillor.

Please help us raise some funds and plant lots of lovely trees for children in our local area!
