Greening My Local Area

This activity will encourage your students to identify local places where additional plants and trees can be grown, carry out a planting activity and monitor development over time on a map overlay.
For the first time we are launching an exciting competition where 12 groups can win £250.00 each to put towards purchasing plants and gardening equipment!
In this activity you and your students will:
- Carry out a survey of your local biodiversity.
- Plan a planting activity to support local wildlife and contribute to the 1 Trillion Trees project: www.1t.org.
- Add an overlay to your local area map (see bit.ly/environment-map).
- Enter a competition.
