School Case Studies
School and Community Tree Day events form the backbone of National Tree Day.
The involvement of children in this event stimulates their interest in the environment and through community involvement strengthens the belief that they can make a difference.
The variety of community groups supporting Tree Day are an invaluable resource coordinating their local communitiesa and enhancing the natural environment.
These case studies are a showcase of School Tree Day events.
