An annual cycle of environmental activities for schools
From Seed to Tree gives your school the opportunity to get involved with community projects, by helping to plant and maintain a woodland or wild space in your local area.
Pupils of any age can take part in From Seed to Tree, and because it runs on an annual cycle schools can follow the programme year after year.
