The Department for Education has made available a £15 million grant for schools to support young people in getting outdoors and learning about the natural world. Administered by the Royal Horticultural Society, you can use the funding for: ‘grey to green’ biodiversity improvements, such as:
-
- planters
- trees
- green walls
- water butts
- specialist support from contractors for installation and consultation
OASES can help you with this. We can help to design the area, give advice on what to put where, create planters with a small group of students, plant trees and hedges and more.
