What is it?
The Yellow Woods Challenge is the environmental schools competition run by Yellow Pages, working with the Woodland Trust and Kennet District Council. Schools that collect the most directories per pupil can win hundreds of pounds in cash prizes and for every pound awarded to schools, Yellow Pages will give a matching pound to the Woodland Trust, the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity.
