Spring 2024

The beautiful season of blossom is upon us again! Welcome to our Spring 2024 newsletter.

Apologies if you received a “Goodbye” email from us. We certainly didn’t mean it and we’re looking into what could have caused it.

Below are some highlights from the past months.

For the second year running, our Nuts for the Trees children in Brighton have planted the trees that they grew from seed.

At Queen’s Park Primary School in Brighton, growing trees from seed is no longer an after-school activity. It’s now ensconced in the school curriculum.

As you can see from the above articles, Queen’s Park School in Brighton has spearheaded our Nuts for the Trees scheme. The children at our other participating school, Ashley C of E Primary in Walton-on-Thames, have also been collecting and planting. 

We would love to expand our Nuts for the Trees network, so if you are involved in a local school please ask them to get in touch with us. We’ll send them a starter pack worth £75 - enough to grow 60 new trees from seed. All they have to do is collect tree seeds this Autumn and they’ll be on their way!
