Are you celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday this week?
Let us know how you are celebrating! Are you planting a tree, doing an assembly or a bug hunt, wearing green or dressing up as an explorer?
We would love to hear about your celebrations and see any photos!

#COP30 Day 5. Leicester has 31 #TinyForests each with 600 trees. That’s 18,600! These dense, fast-growing woods mimic natural forests, offering lots of benefits to people and wildlife. They capture & store CO2, reducing greenhouse gases. Get involved at tinyforest.earthwatch.org.uk…

Recycling is something we can all do to conserve the planet's resources. If we make sure we are all recycling more of the right things, more often, together we can make a difference 💚

Crack Easter recycling this year 🐣 Foil that scrunches into a ball or tears can be recycled 💚 But don't be fooled by plastic-coated sweet wrappers - we can't recycle them!
Don't forget to pop cardboard boxes and plastic moulds in your recycling too.
