For our first Crew Day in Year 8 following the establishment of our Crew charity, we took the morning to gain further knowledge of our charity – Trees For Cities! Our vision is to create a notice board that will inform other Crews in our School of what our charity does and raise awareness of the importance of trees in urban spaces, connecting this to what we have learned about trees in biology.
In the afternoon, we walked together to ‘The Fortress’ in Windy Nook, where we had a picnic to which each crew member had contributed. When returning to school we took a longer walk back through the nature reserve which made us appreciate how important our environment is to us, and the positive impact that trees can have in urban environments.
As a crew, we are really eager to learn more about ‘Trees for Cities’, and we cannot wait to contribute further to our community!
