H&M

H&M is proud to be working with the Woodland Trust, the leading tree conservation charity in the UK.

All the profit generated from the 5p per bag charge in H&M stores in Wales is donated directly to the Woodland Trust, to provide free tree packs for schools and youth groups in Wales.

The partnership will:

• Fund the planting of at least 20,000 trees which will be distributed via special tree packs to schools and youth groups in Wales
• Give thousands of children from many different backgrounds the opportunity to plant their own tree

Did you know?

• 80% of those living in deprived areas have no easy access to woodland
• 65% of UK children have never planted anything

Why trees are good:

• Tree planting brings communities together – mixing neighbours, fostering cultural diversity and cultivating a sense of belonging.
• Planting allows children to take part in creating a living history
• Trees and woods are home to our best-loved plants, insects, birds and animals.
• They provide fun places to play, climb in, run though and explore.
• Planting trees in childhood creates a strong, hopefully life-long bond with nature.
• This fosters a deeper understanding of trees, their benefits and uses.
• Creating woods is hugely beneficial to the environment, especially in urban areas.
• Trees absorb CO2, remove particulates from the air, reduce flooding risk and erosion, provide shelter from adverse weather and generally cool the air in summer, combating the urban heat island effect
