A variety of native trees are being planted in school grounds and at new woodland sites in response to the climate crisis.
These trees will help to create shade, mitigate against pollution and flooding, connect people with nature and increase biodiversity.
Dawoodi Bohras from across the UK and the world regularly volunteer to help protect and enhance the natural environment, as well as raise awareness of the need to live more sustainably.
