How You Can Help

If you would like to support The Conservation Foundation's work to promote positive environmental news, awareness and action, we would be very grateful for donations which can be made securely online at Just Giving.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE GREAT BRITISH ELM EXPERIMENT

The Conservation Foundation is raising funds in 2010 for The Great British Elm Experiment to distribute native elm saplings to schools around the country and to establish a monitoring programme to follow the progress of the trees and their possible resistance to Dutch elm disease over the next 20 years.
 
£20 will enable a school to join The Great British Elm Experiment. If you can help, please click here to donate.

SPONSOR LONDON'S GREEN CORNERS?

There’s still time to get involved in London’s Green Corners Awards. The Awards will run over a full year and our current partners are Capital Gardens, Thames Water, Natural England, Capital Growth, Lurot Brand and Guerrilla Gardening’s Pimp Your Pavement.

We're working with Archant London, who will be telling the green corners stories in its 30 plus newspapers and websites and on London 24.


As well as bringing visible environmental benefits, the Green Corners Awards have a strong community impact. They have built up a diverse ‘club’ of supporters – from community groups and local authorities, to its judges, who include our president and co-founder David Bellamy, actress Susan Hampshire, The Evening Standard’s Pattie Barron, Matthew Appleby of Horticulture Week,  Rosie Boycott, chair of London Food, Geoff Martin, Archant London's Group  Editor and Director of the Garden Museum Christopher Woodward. The ‘club’ is a great vehicle for communicating positive environmental news, awareness and ideas to a varied audience.

Would sponsoring any of these Green Corner categories fit the bill for your company:
Community Green Corners - urban green spaces cared for and shared by people living nearby
Green Corners for health and wellbeing
On The Move – green corners on boats, bikes, buses, trains, tubes and taxis, or visible from them as you pass
No Man’s Land – unloved and uncared for strips of land, alleyways or cut throughs.
School Green Corners where pupils and teachers get together to turn grey spaces green
Young Londoners – green corners created by anyone under 25

UNWANTED OR BROKEN GARDEN TOOLS?

Please give them to our Tools Shed project. The tools will be repaired in prison workshops and given to school and community gardens. In the London area, tools can be dropped at RHS Wisley, at any of Capital Gardens six garden centres in and around London.

We hope to open more collection points in other parts of the UK soon and would be glad to hear from any horticultural organisations that would like to collect tools for Tools Shed. tools@conservationfoundation.co.uk
