Cutting carrier bags, planting trees - WHSmith's partnership with the Woodland Trust
Profits from the sale of WHSmith carrier bags are donated to the Woodland Trust and this has enabled us to support the Woodland Trust’s work to create new woodland for people and wildlife to enjoy. This year, we were able to fund free tree packs for schools. WHSmith’s donation enabled the Woodland Trust to provide 700 schools across the UK with tree planting packs, each containing 30 saplings.
“It’s so important that children get the opportunity to learn about trees and their environment so we were delighted that WHSmith sponsored our schools tree packs in spring 2011. Thanks to their support 700 schools received a free tree pack enabling 21,000 children to have an inspirational tree planting experience.” Woodland Trust, 2011
