The charitable trust and social enterprise, which runs Prince’s Trust programmes, has been involved in a vast number of environmental projects locally, whether carrying out major improvements at nature reserves or helping to create school or care home gardens.
Here is a selection of pictures from the archives showing some of that work and the heroes involved in it.
