Through its school's nature connectedness sessions, the Heart of England Forest brings children from urban schools into one of England's most ambitious conservation projects - a native broadleaf forest spanning nearly 9,000 acres across Warwickshire and Worcestershire. For many, it is their first experience of woodland. For some, it is the visit that changes everything.
Even when a Forest visit is free, coach hire makes it unviable for schools already stretched to the limit.
The Heart of England Forest's minibus removes that barrier entirely - and the impact is real. Children report increased confidence and improved wellbeing. Teachers see stronger engagement back in the classroom. And for a generation growing increasingly disconnected from nature, these experiences matter more than ever.
The Forest is now seeking a single business sponsor to fund the minibus. As sole sponsor, your organisation would be directly credited with enabling hundreds of children to reach the Forest each year - delivering genuine social value, supporting your ESG and CSR aims, and connecting your brand with one of the region's most loved conservation stories.
