Queen Elizabeth II’s 2012 Diamond Jubilee and our 2012 Diamond Jubilee Schools Celebration Project, is based upon getting 2012 rural/village Infant and Primary schools each planting 20+12 native provenance trees/shrubs (20 native provenance broadleaf trees and 12 native woody shrubs with all plant protection). These will be planted into their school grounds or within the immediate countryside, creating wildlife habitats by way of planting a single copse of trees or by dividing the planting pack up and planting two celebration groves. The plantings commenced on 2011 National Tree Week and will be finishing by 2012 National Tree Week, making it an educational and hands on tree celebration.

To achieve our target of 60,000+ trees planted by 2012 Infant and Primary Schools, we need your help and support. If you buy a £60 per 20+12 school planting pack, the pupils might ask for your helpand support in planting or generating media coverage. Certificates will be mailed ot to sponsors and schools.

 Fruit Trees 4 Schools Project; not only provides regular outdoor learning resources in documenting how plants grow throughout the changing seasons, weather patterns and the benefits they have relating to biodiversity and wildlife enabling pupils to grow and eat their own produce, and to all our sponsors we will work with you so it’s a real benefit to your local schools. 

The fruit trees will be two year old assortment of Apple, Pear and Plum trees. All will be delivered free of charge with stakes, ties and planting instructions.

With all participating schools having the option to plant on an annual basis thus increasing yields year on year generating healthier lifestyles.

So attaining the support and sponsorship from within local companies and pupils parents it’s always advantageous.
