Kids try new activities by planting trees

A group of school kids in south-east London have got back to nature by planting trees, a fun pursuit for those who want to try new activities.
Children at St John’s RC Primary School this week launched The Big Tree Plant by doing just that, Docklands24.co.uk reported.
The project aims to have one million trees planted in the UK by 2014.
Janice Babb, headteacher at the school, said: "Trees provide a great habitat and food supply for birds, mammals and insects."
On Monday March 7th pupils were pictured grinning and enjoying themselves as they decided to try new activities and put the saplings in the ground.
The special ceremony was also attended by Richard McIlwain from Keep Britain Tidy , teachers at the school and local dignitaries.
Adults in the south of England have also been getting in on the tree-planting action, with workers at Basingstoke's Phillips Solicitors gifting the Crabtree Plantation to 25 silver birch trees. The trees were planted as part of holiday activities in celebration of the firm's 25th anniversary, Andoveradvertiser.co.uk reported.
