The RFS is searching for the most inspirational educational projects that promote learning about trees in counties stretching from Worcestershire to Cumbria.
Entries to the RFS Schools Award 2013 can encompass any current project relating to trees and woodlands. This year's winners were Free Rangers Nursery in Welton, Somerset for setting up a whole nursery based on the forest school ethos and for its use of wood inside the setting.
The Award is open to all educational establishments from nursery to the age of 18 in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Shropshire, West Midlands, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria.
The winner will receive a prize of £1,000, while the runner up will receive £500. The awards, which are free to enter, are held in association with Forestry Commission England, and no woodlands are required.
