JUST ONE Tree Day
21st October 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our school will be taking part in JUST ONE Tree Day on Friday 25th October. Each child is being encouraged to join us in M4 to buy a cake or biscuit for £1 to fund the planting of their tree. Any donations of cakes and biscuits on the day, for us to sell, are also welcome.
JUST ONE Tree, an official partner in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, is an award-winning non-profit removing CO2 from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through global reforestation.
JUST ONE Tree supports reforestation projects in areas severely affected by deforestation such as Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique & Brazil. In doing so they have the greatest positive effect on limiting global warming whilst simultaneously alleviating extreme poverty within local communities through the provision of training, agricultural education and sustainable incomes.
JUST ONE Tree makes it simple for everyone to take collective action on the climate crisis because Just £1 plants 1 Tree.
We’re sure you will agree that tree planting is absolutely essential at this critical time for the planet. We will therefore be joining children, parents and teachers around the world on this day to demonstrate that an individual's actions can have a positive impact on the environment.
Please bring your suggested donation of £1 to school on 25th October.

We look forward to counting the number of trees that our school community can plant!
Yours sincerely,
St Augustine’s Eco team
