“I have been teaching biology over the past 8 years at ‘Gilly School’. Our goal has been to reconnect the young generation with Nature. I teach them about the environmental crisis but more so, about the solutions that give hope to this earth. A mini forest is a unique opportunity for them to learn about species, biodiversity and regeneration.”

Martial Gego, Biology Teacher and Nature Guide at 'Gilly School'.

Fleabane (Erigeron sp.)
Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus)

“Planting trees and watching them grow together to form a thriving ecosystem is an inspiring message for the future. Getting into action with kids is my message of hope.”
