Announcing the Winners

Now that St. Joseph’s and Cromwell schools have been notified, and their winning pupils are aware of their posters adorning new trees in their ward, we can announce the winning posters online!

Yesterday, Katy Hawkins walked around Nechells, installing the creative, hand-drawn posters by local children on our newly planted trees! This will be a great way to encourage not only our youth, but everyone in Birmingham to look after the trees that look after us, by keeping them watered, healthy, and thriving.

Katy also met passing residents, living near various trees, and spoke to them about watering, which they were keen to do!

The posters went to the winning schools and pupils from the two participant schools. A child’s imagination can truly grasp how special trees are to us and this planet, and those are the sparks in our eyes we need to retain.

Thank you to all who participated, Nechells POD for co-hosting this competition, and congratulations to the winners – go out and see your posters, but don’t forget to water the trees!
