Growing trees and growing minds Does your school want to plant trees linked to environmental education? Does your school want to forge links with schools in the developing world? We might be able to supply your trees free of charge. To see if you can provide a good home for some trees, we need to know a few things about your project. If you qualify then saplings can be delivered to your school free of charge, including canes and protection. Read on to find out what we need from you - then get ready to start planting! Tree Planting gets children involved and helps create a wonderful learning resource
Saplings are grown at the North East Community Forest nursery in County Durham. The following species are some of the trees that can be requested, depending on availibility: English Oak, Ash, Silver Birch, Downy Birch, Rowan, Field Maple, Goat Willow, Green Beech, Purple Beech, Common Alder, Native Dogwood, Blackthorn, Crab Apple, Guelder Rose, Hawthorn, Hazel, Spindle Bush, Cherry. If there are other species you need, please ask. The cell grown trees are delivered free including canes and rabbit spirals. The planting season usually runs from November through to March but you can make your application at any time. The sooner the better, we suggest. Download an application form (PDF 0.7MB) to apply for trees for your school.	We want to encourage schools to make the most of their grounds by planting trees. This helps create woodland habitat, increases bio-diversity and, most importantly, provides an excellent learning resource. - planting the trees, watching them grow, seeing how wildlife is encouraged, charting the changing seasons and weather. Does your school qualify for free Tree Appeal trees? There are a few simple things we need to check: Firstly, we need to be confident that the location for our trees is 'permanent', Although we realise there are never any guarantees it is important to remember that Tree Appeal's focus is on habitat creation, bio-diversity targets and social benefits. So, we need to be sure that our trees will be planted where they have the best chance of reaching their full potential. Next we need you to describe your project for us in simple terms. It doesn't need to be an essay, just a few lines. Things we like to know are, for example: * Where exactly is it? Do you have an OS map reference? * Why are trees being planted? * Is it accessible to the public? * Is it part of curriculum activities? * Do you want your pupils to grow trees from seed? * Do you want to forge links with schools in the developing world? * Will it help meet local bio-diversity targets? * Are there any rare or special species locally? * Is it a Site of Special Scientific Interest or similar? Finally, we would very much like you to send us some photos of the trees being planted. If you would like some Tree Appeal trees to plant at your school please contact schools@treeappeal.com or download an application form.
