Schools Sustainability - get involved / JUST ONE Tree

There are over 10 million children in full or part time education in the UK alone.

Imagine what a powerful impact we would have if every nursery, school and college contributed to planting trees.
And we hope to do that through JUST ONE Tree Day.

Trees planted so far by the children

JOIN 200K CHILDREN FROM SCHOOLS ACROSS THE WORLD IN OUR NON-UNIFORM DAY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
October 14th 2022
(September 30th for Scotland)

MAKE IT YOURS

Most schools hold a non-uniform or ‘wear something green’ day,
but JUST ONE TREE Day can be any kind of fundraiser you want it to be.

It creates a springboard for environmental education, reduces climate anxiety through positive action
and helps compensate for your school's environmental impact.
Join children, parents and teachers in demonstrating the positive impact JUST ONE individual can have on the environment.

WHAT THE SCHOOLS THINK

"One of our year 4 pupils was so inspired by our JUST ONE Tree Day, that she took it upon herself to write to Boris Johnson about deforestation and wanted to know what
the government were
doing about it?
A week later she got a reply!"
St Leonard's First School, Dunston

"Our JUST ONE Tree Day always seems to raise spirits as well as money. It has become a part of our Shotley School Annual Calendar
and is enjoyable for children and staff."
Shotely Community Primary School

"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."
Elm Grove Primary School

"We would absolutely love to get involved once again this year. You are doing some fantastic work and feel very lucky to be able to be
part of it."
Stretton Sugwas Academy

JOIN OUR 'GROW YOUR OWN FOREST CHALLENGE'

Do you want to get your students even more involved?
Teach them the power of teamwork and collectively grow your own forest.
Let your pupils get creative and make their own poster.
As each child brings in their £1, a leaf or painted fingerprint representing their tree is placed on their school's poster.
Watch as your forest takes shape with every pound that goes into your school's tree planting fund.

South East London's, Stillness Infant School completed their 'Grow Your Own Forest Challenge', creating this beautiful tree out of leaves individually coloured by the children. Each leaf represents a tree that will be planted on their behalf.
