A Tree for Every Graduate Student

Swansea University has taken a new step toward a greener future, planting hundreds of trees, one for each student graduating from its School of Biosciences, Geography and Physics and their dedicated Tree Society hopes to expand the program to include all future graduates. 

Teifion Maddocks, Sustainability Manager at Swansea University, said:  

“Not only does this initiative add a new and meaningful dimension to our graduation celebrations, but it also contributes to the health of our planet and the wellbeing of future generations. 

No matter their next steps, we’re thrilled to give our graduates a unique opportunity to leave behind a tangible legacy of their time at Swansea University, one that helps us combat the effects of climate change. 

It’s vital in this climate and ecological emergency that we collectively act to decarbonise current carbon emissions and stop environmental impacts whilst simultaneously compensating for present greenhouse gases and restoring nature. The Graduation Tree Planting initiative supports the University’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2035 and our Nature Positive targets.”
