Our Seeds2Trees project

We are really thrilled to have been successful in our bid to be part of the Seeds2Trees project. 

Seeds2Trees was launched by Living Woods in 2022 to enable people of all ages, across local communities, to grow UK native trees from seed, for future use in community focussed tree planting schemes.

We will be planting acorns and hazel in the first phase then silver birch and alder in the second. Any saplings we grow will then be planted in local woodlands. 

Ultimately, our learners will be caring for 200 trees, from planting the seeds to getting ready for the saplings to be replanted in local woodlands. 

Each tree grown as a part of Seeds2Trees when planted, has the potential of absorbing a tonne of CO2, helping to create new woodlands that will help improve bio-diversity and our environment. 

Our tutor, Lu, and our learners will be keeping us updated throughout the project. It's so exciting to be part of this, hopefully with Westgate College trees around the local area!
