Festival Wood Gets More Trees!
Festival Wood begins – we’re off to plant 300 trees!
Great news – we’ve got our first 300 trees for Festival Wood, thanks to 100 trees donated by Big Green Coach from their coach trips to and from events in the 2011 festival season, 100 trees from a private donation and 100 trees from the team here at A Greener Festival. This is the best news we could have this week and Claire deserves a big pat on the back for making all of this work with our new friends at Trees for Life who are working to restore Dundreggan’s forest. Dundreggan is a 10,000 acre area of wild land in Scotland near Loch Ness, between Inverness and Fort William, where Trees for Life are now working to restore native forests and wildlife habitats
