We were delighted to partner with AWS InCommunities as we delivered Urban Forests through the 2023/24 planting season.
AWS were the Lead Sponsor for this wonderful forest being developed in Coolmine Community School, bringing biodiversity and nature into this wonderful school in the heart of the Coolmine community.
Their sponsorship means that this forest was provided at no cost to the school, keeping the school’s funds where they’re most needed.
