With over 550 schools around the world taking part, we've been blown away by the incredible feedback from teachers, headteachers, parents and children after their JUST ONE Tree Day.
Lots have made us smile, some have brought us to tears, as we began to realise the enormous impact we're having on future generations.
​
Here's just a snap shot.

Meeting Amanda and having her kick-start JUST ONE Tree Day was inspiring, our children are young and they were blown away by her and her message."

"We've noticed children, whilst passionate about climate change, are becoming quite frightened by media information and this is a great way to do something positive and practical to make a difference."

Our Science Day, last Wednesday, where we promoted your mission to plant more trees went really well. Thank you for the links to your resources. The girls loved them. All pupils from Kindergarten up to Year 6 took part in various activities related to the theme of 'Growth'. Some groups made posters about reforestation/ deforestation, whereas other groups made animals out of leaves and other groups made their own mini-ecosystems which we will observe throughout the year to see what grows.

What a tree-rific day we had! Year 3 did a wonderful job of promoting our JUST ONE Tree Day: creating a buzz with posters, baking tree biscuits to sell on the day and doing some wonderful persuasive writing to get everyone excited. The day was spent dressed like a tree, doing lots of wonderful things inspired by trees, sharing stories about the importance of trees and much more... I have included some photos for you to enjoy and get a taste of the fun that was had by all. Many thanks for your wonderful charity." 
​Ottery St Mary, Primary School, Devon

“It was a wonderful idea. A lovely bit of end of term bonkers crossed with important environmental learning.”

I have spoken with our student Eco Action Team and teaching staff, who are all very keen to take part in this exciting project. We are planning to make the whole day an outdoor learning day themed around trees. The day fits perfectly in the middle of our 'switch off fortnight', when we encourage everyone to reduce CO2 pollution by saving energy at home and school. Great that we can now help them to redress the balance by planting a tree somewhere in the world too!

Bliss Charity School's assembly on the importance of trees

"It's a sea of green here today. Everyone is dressed in green for JUST ONE Tree day and we're doing lots of activities to help us think about climate change. Most exciting, we've raised enough money as a school to plant more than 1000 trees! Well done and thank you everyone. Here are some pics of what we've been up to. Our Form VIs have been calculating the amount of CO2 taken out of the atmosphere by some of the trees on our grounds based on the circumference of their trunks. They snuck a bit of tree hugging in too, because why not? Our Form IVs have been learning all about what trees do for us and creating some wonderful posters (on recycled and scrap paper). It's been a great day and an initiative we're proud to support."

We have had a go green mufti day this week. The children came to school wearing green, and the Eco Council delivered an assembly about your charity. Our school play this year is called Out of this World which is all about our planet being destroyed by humans and aliens coming down to save it. On the back of our program we asked for donations at the end and in total including the mufti day we have raised £125!

"Children and staff dressed up in tree colours of all seasons and painted faces too. We had viewed one of the films that you sent, on our wide screen in assembly, about helping to plant trees in a Madagascan village. Then, on the day, we talked about the impact of planting more trees on our planet, in assembly again. The children were invited to pay £1 and colour in a leaf, which was stuck onto a tree trunk cutout in our corridor."

"Hey my name is Isaac and I am 8 years old I am a big lover of trees. That is why I took all of my savings into school on Friday 16th October for Just One Tree day. Trees help us in lots of ways, and they are fun to be around and on. I want there to be more trees and to help the planet. My mum and my teacher weren't sure if I should use all of my savings, but I thought it was a good use of my money, in fact I couldn’t think of anything more important to spend it on!"
