The girls took part in a wide range of activities including:

  • 1,906 taking part in campsite makeovers and planting over 50,000 trees.
  • 10,826 recycling Christmas cards and collecting a huge numbers of cards, including the Banstead Trefoil Guild who alone recycled over 150,000 cards!
  • 4,549 taking part in Springwatch activies recording important information on our natural environment.
  • 3,658 members taking part in the Ancient Tree Hunt recording these special trees so that they can be protected.

The 29th Barnsley (Cawthorne) Brownies picked in their pow-wow to plant trees in their local community so they could help the environment. 13 Brownies, two brothers and lots of mums and dads helped out with the planting. Phoebe Kendrew aged eight helped out. 'I loved it, we planted horse chestnut, oak, ash and wild cherry trees. My brother and I will keep an eye on them as we go on our walks in Cawthorne Park.'
