It is widely used to reverse the environmental degradation caused by human activities such as deforestation, pollution and land use techniques that cause soil erosion, although different kinds of ecosystems recover at different rates. ERS works in three major areas: creating new woodlands, river restoration, and the rehabilitation of wildflower meadows. ERS’ approach is one of proactive collaboration with schools, community groups, other charities, businesses and government agencies to create a global alliance to address the challenge of regenerating the earth. Since establishing the charity, the ERS has served over 750 schools across the UK & further afield, planting over 60,000 new trees, and engaging 50,000 children & their local communities.
