Nearly 250,000 children from schools across the UK and beyond have come together for JUST ONE Tree Day, an annual event that combines climate education with direct action.
The day raises funds for global reforestation while delivering free climate change resources to classrooms, empowering the next generation to be part of the solution.
Organized by the non-profit JUST ONE Tree, the campaign supports tree planting in deforested areas around the world — with just £1 planting one tree. The initiative is a partner in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and it’s making real change by regenerating land and ocean ecosystems, restoring biodiversity, and helping local communities thrive.
It’s a growing movement of young environmental stewards.
“JUST ONE Tree Day is about more than just planting trees—it’s about planting hope and knowledge,” said Amanda Bronkhorst, founder of JUST ONE Tree. “By engaging children in climate solutions, we’re equipping them with the tools to make a lasting difference.”
With children having funded the planting of over 380,000 trees to date, JUST ONE Tree Day demonstrates the incredible power of collective youth action, showing that when education and purpose come together, real change is possible.
Schools can now register to take part in the next JUST ONE Tree Day on Friday 17th October 2025. Join the 700 schools already making a real difference to ecosystems and communities around the world — one school forest at a time.
