What a Wonderful World

FREE TREES!

Wild pear and native crab apple saplings available for FREE.

Come along to Alnwick Market place, 11.00am - 1.00pm, Thursday 29 May, to the What a Wonderful World stall. Donations welcome to What a Wonderful World Trust reg. charity 1195577 and Friends of the Earth Alnwick.

What a Wonderful World is highlighting the need for healthy soils for a healthy environment. Trees can contribute to this. Trees have roots which protect our fragile soils from erosion caused by wind and rain. They hold on to water, slowing down run off and preventing flooding. Through connections to the soil and by making leaf litter they nurture a wonder of soil life including earth worms, fungi and bacteria. They also absorb CO2 within the soil as well as in their roots, branches and stems. These trees are free as we want everyone to look after them and appreciate their benefits.

Climate Emergency and Creativity in Northumberland

What a Wonderful World is a climate action group which brings the arts and sciences together to raise local awareness of the climate emergency and bio-diversity loss and what we can each do in our homes and communities to tackle it.

Our Aims are:

- to create awareness of the beauty and wonder of the planet and the threats to all its inhabitants

- to engage people of all ages in arts and science-related activities which will help us understand our predicament and take action that will help prevent further damage and disasters

- to work with like-minded organisations to grow our understanding and raise our voices and support each other.
