Opening event in Finland with a local school

We are proud to announce our first tree planting event in Helsinki, Finland. On May 9, in collaboration with Kulosaaren Yhteiskoulu, 140 trees and bushes were planted around the school’s perimeter to enhance local biodiversity and engage students in hands-on environmental education.

The planting event involved students, parents and teachers from Kulosaaren Yhteiskoulu, who actively participated in greening their surroundings and learning about the importance of restoring local ecosystems.

It included a variety of native tree and shrub species, such as ash (Fraxinus excelsior), bird cherry (Prunus padus), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) or juniper (Juniperus communis), among others, chosen to support local wildlife and boost biodiversity in the school’s area. 

We also had the opportunity to attend Daniel-Paul Dima's conference on the importance of forests and present the Life Terra project in front of more than 300 students from the school.

With this, Life Terra kicks off its first activity in the country, expanding its presence to yet another European country. As the biggest climate action initiative in Europe, we continue to empower individuals and communities to take meaningful environmental action.
