seeds 4 schools

Is a project which aims to educate students about the value of trees and to create a forest at each of the local schools. At the beginning of the year volunteers take the Life Science students, inform them about trees and educate them on how to plant a tree from seed. The students bring containers and dry cow manure to school. Seeds are then supplied, planted and taken home. Then during Arbor week in September, the saplings are brought back to school. They are judged and the winners receive prizes. Trees gets planted at their homesteads, on the school grounds and donated to the local tree nursery. Each year different seeds are supplied so as not to create a mono culture. The project has been a success with over 3000 seeds distributed among 2 schools. Currently funds are required for new gutters, a rain tank, additional tools and prizes.
