    Explore nature anywhere with the Green Tree Badge

    Adam heads off (sort of) into the wilderness – North London, to be exact – to explore the Green Tree Badge, an exciting new badge programme all about trees that you can take part in no matter where you live in the UK.

    Find out what the Green Tree Badge is, who created it, and how you can earn your very own badge by completing fun tree-related activities.

    Adam chats with Smrithy, co-founder of Green Tree Badge, from Bags of Ethics along with charity partners the Royal Forestry Society. They share how the programme encourages YOU to discover the amazing properties of trees whether you live in the countryside, a town, or a city!

    The Green Tree Badge has been designed for everyone, wherever you live and whatever your abilities. Thanks to donations, passbooks and school packs are available across the UK, making it easy and affordable for all families to join in.
