Trees for Survival facilitators are out and about meeting landowners and assessing potential planting sites. Where some may see a bare paddock or hillside, TfS facilitators see potential for an excellent day’s planting and future forest. As well as the potential of the planting site, facilitators are also checking that the school bus will make it up the drive and the students can access the site safely. Some landowners will host a single planting day with other landowners hosting a school over successive years, together expanding an area of restoration planting. These fantastic relationships are about goodwill; landowners supporting schools to undertake planting work that benefits everybody.
