Thomas Willingale School with their own special oak tree
As part of this project we try to encourage local schools to nominate their favourite trees and to carry out projects related to trees, such as art, science and writing.
A school that nominated and won with their tree was Thomas Willingale School in Debden. Chosen by the BBC to become part of their series on "The Trees That Made Britain" Thomas Willingale has proved to be a winner.
Shown here are some of the children of Thomas Willingale School photographed before they won the competition.

These slideshows are well worth watching as they show you how the youngsters (all under the age of 11) are dealing with IT and modern technologies of today by using it in their day to day work at school.
New GreenArc project gives a new chance for schools to become involved
Roydon, Thomas Willingale, Dr Walkers and Lambourne Primary Schools all participated in a tree survey and art and design project with photographer John Price.
The schools all had an opportunity to firstly study local veteran trees, using digital cameras and sound recording equipment the pupils set to work. Many excellent pictures were taken and using GPS and measuring tape the trees were recorded and a selection are shown here.
