LEAF is an international program that was begun in Denmark, focused on increasing and strengthening the relation of children to trees in order to strengthen their relationship to nature. It aims not only at allowing them to better connect with nature and understand the symbiotic relationship between people and nature, ensuring that they know they can influence/impact their future by taking charge in environmental issues.

An objective for this company could be "through the LEAF programme, to reach 5000 school children in 10 countries before 2027.

The audience for this report and program would be local authorities, who can create legislation or encourage use of nationally-owned forests by citizens, as well as teachers, parents, and students. If teachers and school administrators are aware such programs exist, they can be implemented into curriculum, while parents have the capacity to influence decisions made by schools, so if they encourage this undertaking, they can lobby schools for its implementation. Students/children are the ones directly benefiting from this, and if they show a genuine interest in learning about nature and connecting with it, they could hold strong sway within their own circles, but they unfortunately have less power to affect legislation than their parents.

The impact of the program on students and schools involved could be illustrated in how much and what kinds of action are undertaken after the programme has been completed, in order to determine the resonance of the project with those who participated.
