PATT Foundation has developed a new project with the Hull and East Riding Probation Service to deliver Community Payback opportunities based around horticulture and environmental conservation.
As part of the projects, PATT Foundation has created chances for the Community Payback teams to be involved in activities that can benefit communities across the region as well as their own mental health and wellbeing through nature-based tasks and educational opportunities. 
People on probation have been able to join the PATT and Green Task Force teams for tree planting events across the region, allowing them to be involved in environmental projects that can benefit the community as well as their own wellbeing. Since joining the project in February, those involved in the project from the Probation Service have planted around 8,500 native trees across Hull and East Yorkshire.
