Routes Planting Routes

In partnership with Earth Restoration Service, our Speedy Freight branches across our network will be supporting local schools plant native tree nurseries and wildflower meadows.

The School Tree Nursery Programme

Schools will receive a Tree Nursery, which is an area set up within school grounds where up to 50 tree saplings of various native tree species are planted and raised.

These trees will stay in the nursery, where they are looked after, until they are big enough to be moved and replanted outside the school in the local community.

The School Flutter Flowers Programme

This programme aims to re-flower an area within school grounds. The students at the school will plant wildflowers that are all native and according to local conditions, creating a small wildflower meadow.

This will support the return of native species of insects and invertebrates to the area.

Speedy Freight’s Involvement

From June to December, we will be delivering the tree nurseries and wildflowers to the chosen schools. We’ll keep you updated throughout the following year, monitoring the progress of our planted trees and wildflowers and showcasing the schools benefiting from our collaborative efforts.

We’ll also provide an update at the two-year mark, when the trees are ready to be outplanted from the school nursery and into local communities.

What is The Earth Restoration Service?

Started in 2001, the Earth Restoration Service is engaged with two main areas to restore the environment: tree planting and creating small-scale wild areas with wildflowers. Through their programmes, they help restore depleted natural areas, whilst teaching the next generation about the importance of nature by engaging them with it first-hand. The Earth Restoration Service is a Registered Charity in England and Wales 1118951.
How Are Speedy Freight Helping?

Speedy Freight will be supporting a minimum of thirty schools in partnership with Earth Restoration Service to support their goal of planting more than 50,000 trees and enough wildflowers to attract 20 million insects to the UK by 2030. We will also help arrange the transport of the trees and flowers ahead of the planting event.
