When you choose to plant a woodland or garden in your school, Greener Growth will work with you every step of the way
Every green space we create is unique and can be used in a variety of ways to benefit your students and their learning goals.
Habitat havens to help attract insects and hibernation areas for amphibians
Wildlife tipis with hedgehog boxes
Small wildlife ponds or bog gardens with aquatic plants creating additional bio-diversity and watering holes for wildlife
Heritage fruit orchards and nutteries to add biodiversity and food production for your school
Not only will your woodland offset your trip’s emissions for years to come, there’s so many benefits to having your own woodland.
Planting your green space will:
Offer new educational opportunities
What better place for students to learn about ecology, botany, wildlife, and conservation through hands-on experiences and observation in their own outdoor classroom?
Improve biodiversity
Heritage woodlands can support a diverse range of plant and animal species, contributing to local biodiversity
Build Cultural and Historical Connection
Heritage woodlands include native trees and plants with historical and cultural significance. Students can learn about local history, traditional land use, and the importance of preserving this
Boost student’s well-being
Spending time in nature is proven to have positive effects on mental health and well-being. Students and staff can use the woodland as a place to relax and unwind
Encourage Hands-On Learning
Your students can get involved in planting, maintaining, and caring for your woodland, this can improve self-confidence, teamwork, and build an appreciation for the environment
