In 2010 Earth Day worked with the Woodland Trust in the UK to plant 13,200 trees as part of their Canopy Project! Trees are vital for carbon absorption and wildlife habitats.

In November 2022, FWC founder Heather gathered together a group of FWC members, their families, and the local Cubs groups, to plant a hedge around a local paddock. These will be nurtured and looked after by Heather and her community to ensure they thrive!

With a grant from the Woodland Trust, the team planted 825 hedge saplings and 25 oak trees. Once an oak tree reaches maturity, it will absorb between 10 and 40kg of CO2 annually (the average British person uses 15kg daily!) Planting more trees is a great way of investing in the planet.
