I’ve had word back from The Woodland Trust and things have changed since I last applied and it isn’t for the better! They no longer recognise home educating families as equal to schools and do not accept school applications from home edders. I am really sorry if I misled anyone…but I had a really positive experience last time. It is such shame that The Woodland Trust seem to have changed their view on it.
On a more positive note we are allowed to apply as a community project so if a group of home educating parents can find a bit of land and apply they are likely to get some trees to plant with their children…so the children will not be denied the experience.
Shame eh? Sorry about that guys!
THENA might be able to help. Tameside Home Educating Network Alliance 🙂
Thanks for that! How do you think they would help? with the equality issue or with getting together as a group of home edders? x
