Tales from Mother Earth

Great way to end the week! Back in June Jenny Bailey and I delivered an online reading session of her book Stanley The Water vole to reception students at St. Michaels C of E aided Primary School in #Wolverhampton, at the session we spoke to students about the importance of recycling and raised awareness about the danger caused to animals by throwing litter (especially plastic) into seas and rivers. This morning I returned to the school with Carol Codner to deliver a copy of the book to each student that attended the session . Great way to tie into #plasticfreejuly2024 and McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd's Plastic Awareness Week. Thank you Tales from Mother Earth

Thank you to McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd for helping our young patients celebrate #WorldBeeDay at the children's hospital today 🐝 They created a buzz on the wards by kindly providing a video of author, Jenny Bailey, reading her book 'Phoebe the Bee', along with copies of the book and bee-themed arts and crafts materials. Could your business help support Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity? We'd love to hear from you 👇

🌲 “Looking out across the woodland I can see for miles around, so many trees just like me…”     This is the story of Sitka Spruce, the character in our brand-new children’s book! The book shares the story of Sitka the Spruce, as they make the journey from the forest into the classroom and beyond, promoting to young learners that timber provides the planet with a positive and regenerative resource. We worked in partnership with organisation Tales from Mother Earth, who write and illustrate informative stories for young children to re-engage with the natural world. Enabling them to find out more about habitat preservation, biodiversity and the things they can do to act on climate change.     #SitkaSpruce #ManagedForests #TimberConstruction #ChildrensBook  WATCH the video below which features all the illustrations from the book: https://lnkd.in/eqCPcCii

As the days get longer and warmer, and the sun tries to peep through the clouds, our rooftop is all abuzz once more as our 40,000+ bees wake up for Spring! 🐝   Bringing the rooftop back to life, our honeybee hive is a key element of our ongoing environmental work here at centre:mk. Forming part of our green roof project, our extensive rooftop space provides essential wildlife habitats right in the heart of Milton Keynes city centre, which also include bird and insect boxes, and areas of grass and wildflowers that the bees pollinate.   To support this work, did you know that we’ve also sponsored a fantastic children’s book called ‘Journey to the Green Roof’, written by Tales from Mother Earth’s Jenny Bailey? Money raised from sales go to the Green Roof Organisation (GRO)'s Education Fund - you can find out more and buy your copy here: https://lnkd.in/eNyc9k7t #centremk #MiltonKeynes #LoveMK #ShoppingCentre #Bees #Honeybees #ESG #ESGStrategy #CSR #Environment #Habitats #GreenRoof #SustainableBusiness
