As part of its Grow Together Programme, Tubex has partnered with Greenway Training to provide 450 recyclable and biodegradable tree shelters for its Lantra Tree Planting and Establishing Woodlands courses.

Launched in 2022, Tubex’s Grow Together offers a scheme where charity or community projects across the UK are able to receive a donation of tree shelters to protect their saplings.

Initially funded by The Forestry Commission’s Forestry and Arboriculture Training Fund, the Lantra Tree Planting and Establishing Woodlands courses aim to provide practical training to prevent failed tree planting projects.

The free courses help to expand the access to important practical learning for new entrants to the sector.

Charlotte Boole, director at Greenway Training, says: “We are delighted with the overwhelming interest that our forestry courses have generated.

“Tubex tree shelters have proven to be ideal choice for our training programmes due to their durability and resilience, outperforming some of the other brands we’ve used in the past.”
