TREES FOR SCHOOLS
Our pledge is to work toward a green future for our children and for the future of our planet.
In 2021 Greening Wymondham pledged to give a tree to every final year primary school child in Wymondham. By November this year (2025) we’ll have given 1000 trees out – a veritable wood.
Pupils receive a bare root tree whip, suitable for planting in a small garden, for raising in a pot in a courtyard, or for planting in a public area sourced with Greening Wymondham’s or their schools’ aid. The trees are chosen with biodiversity, nature connectivity, clean air and small gardens in mind.
Greening Wymondham hope that the children will plant their tree whip immediately when they get home(!) giving it a chance to live and thrive in their gardens, but instructions for heeling in are given.
To learn how to plant and care for a young tree, please see our information sheet below, along with a video on planting trees from the Woodland Trust.
We would love it if pupils shared pictures of their trees on social media. They can email us the photos at greening.wymondham@gmail.com, or tag us in their photos on Instagram and Facebook, and use hashtag #GWTreesForSchools.
