31st October 2024AWA Partnering with Kids Plant Trees
Introduction:
At AWA Tree Consultants, we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with the local charity, Kids Plant Trees. This collaboration allows us to contribute to a cause that not only aligns with our values as a tree consultancy but also makes a meaningful difference to both the environment and the lives of local children.
As professional tree consultants, much of our work involves managing trees that are sometimes seen as problematic—whether it’s navigating Tree Preservation Orders that may seem unjustified or handling planning applications where trees are viewed as obstacles. In these situations, it’s easy to lose sight of the positive impact trees have on communities. Through it all, we remain passionate about the essential benefits trees bring to people and the environment, which is why our partnership with Kids Plant Trees resonates so strongly with us.
This collaboration not only allows us to give back to the local community, but also helps our team reconnect with the simplicity of fostering a connection between trees and young people.
Why We Chose Kids Plant Trees:
Kids Plant Trees is a grassroots charity with a mission to improve tree equity by planting trees in underserved areas with limited green spaces, often those facing higher deprivation. Their focus on tree planting in these communities, along with their dedication to engaging local children in every project, struck a chord with us immediately. As a Sheffield-based company, we care deeply about our local environment, and this partnership offers an excellent opportunity to give back in a meaningful way. It also reminds us why we entered the arboriculture field in the first place—to protect, nurture, and promote the many benefits trees bring.
Making an Impact Together:
Our partnership with Kids Plant Trees allows us to contribute directly to projects that help shape the next generation’s relationship with nature. From improving air quality to providing shade and natural beauty in urban spaces, their work aligns perfectly with our commitment to the long-term well-being of trees and green spaces. What stands out the most is their involvement of children right from the beginning, giving them hands-on experience in understanding the importance of trees and their role in the environment. This engagement not only enhances local environments but also fosters a sense of community and environmental responsibility in young people.
Our Role in the Partnership:
As a sponsor, we are proud to support the mission of Kids Plant Trees through donations and active involvement. We’re looking forward to participating in volunteer days, where our team will work alongside Kids Plant Trees to help plant and care for trees in the areas that need them most. This hands-on involvement is a chance for us to step away from the technical side of tree consultancy and reconnect with the basics of tree planting, while engaging with our community to nurture trees for the future.
Conclusion:
At AWA Tree Consultants, we’re proud to partner with Kids Plant Trees and support their efforts to make a lasting impact on Sheffield’s environment. Our mission, “Helping people and trees flourish through expert advice,” and our vision of creating thriving green communities through our tree expertise, are strongly aligned with this partnership. We are excited to work alongside Kids Plant Trees to achieve these shared goals. Together, we’re helping to create spaces where both trees and people can thrive.
