Hello, tiny heroes. I'm Sprout, the little tree with a big red cape. Every single day I look after nature. But I can't do it all by myself. The birds need food in winter, the bees need flowers, the hedgehogs need safe homes, and our planet needs more trees. So I need your help. Will you join my hero mission? You don't need superpowers, just a kind heart and two helping hands.
Here are some everyday missions. Plant a seed or a tree, hang a bird feeder, pick up litter with a grown-up, and build a cosy home for bugs and bees.
We also have big hero missions all year round. In autumn, we hang bird feeders and make hideaways for hedgehogs. In winter, we plant trees, put up nest boxes, and keep water from freezing. In spring, we make seed bombs and bug hotels for the bees. And in summer, we water thirsty trees, give wildlife cool drinks, and pick up litter.
Our very first big mission is 150 feeders for winter. When it gets cold, natural food runs out for the birds, so hang a feeder near home where you can check it. Clean it every week or two. Fill it with seed or sunflower hearts, but never bread. Then ask a grown-up to count your feeder on our missions page.
Every tiny seed can grow into something big. Trees clean the air we breathe. They give birds and bees a home. They shade us on sunny days. And they feed hungry animals.
And being a nature hero is good for you too. You play in the fresh air. You learn amazing things. You make new friends. And you feel super proud.
Here's my secret. Small things add up. If one hero plants one tree, that's one tree. But if a hundred heroes each plant one tree, we grow a whole forest. That's our 100 Trees Challenge.
So I'm only asking for one small thing. One little act for nature each week. Water a plant. Fill a bird feeder. Plant a seed. That's it. One a week makes 52 good deeds a year.
Are you ready? Put on your cape and choose your hero mission. Ask a grown-up to visit TinyTreeHeroes.org slash missions.

About your town and weather
When you look up a town, the town name you type is sent to Open-Meteo's geocoding service. To get the weather, Open-Meteo's forecast service receives that town's approximate coordinates (rounded to 1 decimal place, about 10 km). Open-Meteo can see your internet address as with any website. We never ask for your exact location. Your chosen town and the last weather result stay in this browser, and the weather is saved for up to 3 hours. We don't store your town on our servers.
