Past initiatives
Roots to Green Living
Roots to Green Living is Better Planet Education’s project to provide long-term support for schools to enable them to develop their grounds for environmental education.  In the 2014-15 academic year, we provided support to a group of seven primary schools, thanks to support received from the Heathrow Community Fund and the Ernest Cook Trust. From 2011 to 2014, we provided long term support for a group of eight primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset to develop their school grounds for environmental education, supported by the Cadbury Foundation.
