Admiral Group Partners with Earthwatch Europe to Launch Wales’ First Green Earth Schools and Tiny Forests
Admiral Group has announced a new partnership with Earthwatch Europe, becoming Wales’ first corporate sponsor of the Green Earth Schools and Tiny Forest programmes. This initiative will drive environmental education and sustainability efforts across Welsh communities, reinforcing Admiral Group’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Bringing Green Spaces to Schools and Communities
With Admiral Group’s support, Wales will see the launch of its first two Green Earth Schools, transforming school grounds into nature-rich learning environments. These spaces will empower students to engage with nature, develop environmental knowledge, and take positive action for the planet. The initiative will also provide teachers with the resources to deliver outdoor education, sparking curiosity and appreciation for the natural world among young learners. To explore the impact of Green Earth Schools, visit case studies and reports on the programme.
Additionally, the partnership will support the planting and maintenance of two new Tiny Forests in Wales. A Tiny Forest consists of 600 native trees planted in a tennis-court-sized urban area, helping to boost biodiversity, improve air quality, and create vital green spaces for local communities.
