About us

We're a not-for-profit organisation working to give more children in South Yorkshire and beyond the opportunity to get outdoors and interact with nature, such as by planting a tree - or a few!

At the start of 2020 we, a small group of (tired!) mums, set out to do something practical with our families, to help tackle the climate and biodiversity crises by helping nature on our doorstep.

We knew we'd hit on something when our first tree planting event was attended by over 120 people of all ages - from toddlers to grandparents! Covid stopped us in our tracks for a while but as soon as we could, we got back out there planting trees with various groups across Sheffield and the surrounding area. We started working with schools to improve their outside spaces to benefit nature and the wellbeing of pupils (and staff too).

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and very excited about our plans for the years ahead, now we're established as a social enterprise.

We aim to keep children at the centre of everything we do - giving them a voice, getting them involved in projects from the very start and working with them to bring their amazing ideas to life.

Planting the right tree in the right place is incredibly important to us - and sometimes it's not a tree, but a bush or wild flowers. We work with experts to make sure we consider the practicalities of the site, what's good for wildlife and what's manageable for those taking care of the site going forward.

We want to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy nature where they live. When choosing which community and school projects we take on, we prioritise areas that have higher deprivation and/or less green space. 

We believe in the power of collaboration and work with partners across South Yorkshire and beyond to deliver exciting and impactful projects.
