During its second year, Clean Planet Foundation CIC made significant strides in environmental conservation and education, benefiting communities across the UK. The company’s core activities focused on tree seed collection, rewilding, scientific training, educational media, and public engagement. Key highlights include: a) Tree Seed Collection Project In partnership with Trees for Life and Woodland Trust Scotland, we aimed to collect seeds from native Scottish tree species to grow 500,000 trees over three years. This target was exceeded in the first year alone, with over 2.2 million seeds collected. This initiative demonstrated strong volunteer engagement and ecological impact. (https://www.cleanplanet.com/post/clean-planet-s-tree-seed-collection-project-smashes-1-million-seed-goal-with-2-2-million-collected) b) “Behind The Trees” – Environmental Documentary Our in-house produced documentary, which features rewilding efforts by Trees for Life, received critical acclaim and won awards, including recognition at the Cannes World Film Festival. The film has played a key role in raising public awareness of biodiversity and climate issues. (https://www.cleanplanet.com/post/behind-the-trees-documentary-wins-at-cannes-world-film-festival-plus-10-other-major-awards) c) The Peninsula Project We trained 25 early-career scientists in remote Dartmoor to prepare for upcoming polar expeditions tackling microplastic pollution. Led scientifically by the University of Portsmouth, this work advances early-stage environmental research capability. (https://www.cleanplanet.com/post/university-of-portsmouth-named-scientific-lead-for-groundbreaking-clean-planet-peninsula-project) d) HAPSIE – Children’s Eco-Comic Our monthly comic aimed at children has reached its 20th issue, now stocked in UK libraries and bookstores. HAPSIE encourages young people to engage with climate and ecological topics in a fun and accessible way. (https://www.cleanplanet.com/foundation/hapsie) e) Community and Coastal Clean-Ups Our team led successful beach clean initiatives, including removing over 11kg of microplastics and general litter from Aberdeen Beach. Despite poor weather, community turnout and environmental impact were notable. f) Additional activities included: i) Wildflower garden maintained at Playbox Theatre ii) First honey harvest from our branded beehive in collaboration with Barney’s Bees The activities undertaken by Clean Planet Foundation CIC were designed to benefit the community both directly and indirectly. These benefits included: a) Environmental Enhancement Through rewilding, seed collection, and litter removal, we improved local green spaces and natural habitats, contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem health. b) Education and Awareness We provided youth education through HAPSIE and delivered early-career training for scientists involved in sustainability and microplastics research. Our documentary further extended educational outreach to general audiences. c) Community Participation Our work engaged volunteers, schools, and community groups in hands-on environmental action, promoting a collective sense of ownership and stewardship for nature. d) Wider Public Impact Media projects and public campaigns helped amplify key ecological issues and solutions, promoting behaviour change and long-term community engagement.
We actively collaborated with and consulted the following stakeholder groups throughout the year: a) Delivery Partners and Experts Trees for Life, Woodland Trust Scotland, and the University of Portsmouth contributed expertise, technical input, and co-delivery of major projects. b) Volunteers and Local Participants Feedback was gathered informally through project engagement and follow-up discussions, particularly with seed collectors, beach clean volunteers, and schools. c) Schools and Educational Bodies Ongoing relationships with institutions such as Prague British International School enabled us to build on existing projects and measure educational impact. b) Corporate Donors and Supporters Support from businesses and sponsors enabled us to sustain and scale our operations. We maintained communication to align their funding with community benefits. We continuously assess stakeholder feedback to refine our approach and maximise impact.
