Applications open for Veolia Orchard Sustainable Schools programme
Veolia Orchard was launched in 2022 to improve the wellbeing of young people and to nurture their skills to create a positive change to their environment.
In just the first year, we supported 100 schools across the country with 500 fruit trees and 100 bird boxes! This year, we want your help to grow this national network of orchards even bigger and all you need to do is apply.
To deliver this initiative we've teamed up with the community action charity, Groundwork with the aim to improve biodiversity at schools, provide a learning resource for pupils and offer them an ongoing supply of fresh fruit.
Applications for 2023 are open!
Opening on 5th June to celebrate World Environment Day, applications will remain open until 24th July.
This campaign is being powered by Veolia's Sustainable Schools programme. Each orchard is intended to become a learning resource for pupils, empowering them to improve their local environment and combat climate change. Successful schools will highlight how they intend to integrate their trees into a learning programme for their pupils.
