The Heart Of England Forest Project
(UK, 1097110) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,310.00Our Mission: "Plantation, re-plantation, conservation, protection, preservation, restoration and re-establishment of trees for the benefit of the public, together with the education of the public by the promulgation of knowledge and appreciation of trees" The Heart of England Forest Project is the trading name of The Heart of England Forest Limited charity. The Heart of England Forest Limited (formerly The Forest of Dennis Limited) was formed in 2005 to plant a large native broadleaf forest for the enjoyment of the public. Why a forest and not a woodland? Well, we hope our woodland will be so large and extend so far, that woodland no longer correctly describes what we are creating. How large is large? We hope to plant 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) of new forest over the coming years. When complete, it will represent the largest forest in England. We are already underway with our planting, and this year expect to plant in excess of 100 hectares of new trees (making us the largest planter of trees in England). We expect this figure to increase year on year. As we are not planting the forest for commercial gain, we plant differently from many other forest projects. We plant only native broadleaf trees and we plant randomly so that our woodlands look natural and not like regularly spaced commercial forestry which is planted with harvesting in mind. We plant far less densely than commercial forestry too, this creates a better environment for the wildlife that will inhabit our forest. Less dense planting, and the provision of open spaces, also creates a forest which is more enjoyable for human visitors. As a charity, our activities and progress are dependent on donations from companies and individuals that see the benefits in what we do. If you would like to help raise funds for the charity or sponsor tree planting, please use the links to the right of this page to start fund raising or to make a donation. You can also request for a relative, friend or loved ones name to go on the donation certificate, in the event that you wish to give it to someone as a gift. More information on the charity and its work can be found at at : www.HeartOfEnglandForest.com

The Conservation Volunteers
(UK, 261009) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,112.00The Conservation Volunteers have been reclaiming green places since 1959. Right now, when one third of the UK's green places are in danger of being lost or degraded, our work is more important than ever. The everyday green places that people use are especially vulnerable. 10,000 playing fields were sold off between 1979 and 1997. And only 10% of the UK's allotments remain. Places like these do not have special protection. They are all under threat at a time when local councils are cutting budgets. But neglecting green places is a false economy. It doesn't take long for a once-loved open space to become a magnet for anti-social behaviour, and a cost to society. So looking after green places isn't just about caring for nature. It's about caring for people as well. A well-used green place is a classroom, a gym, a playground and a sanctuary. It is a place that is good for people as well as for wildlife. The Conservation Volunteers help hundreds of thousands of people each year to reclaim local green places. Through our own environmental projects and through our network of 2,000 community groups, we see people – every day, and all across the UK – taking responsibility for their own local environments. You can be part of it too. Join in, feel good.
