Avon Needs Trees
9th February 2024An update from us at the end of the first week of our fundraising campaign
Wow! Thank you so much for all your incredibly generous donations. Because of your support, we have already raised over £11,000 which is more than 10% of our target. What a milestone!
We are so grateful to all of you, whether you have helped spread the word by sharing this page, or made a donation, we really cannot do it without you.
This week, we’ve been on site with woodland creation experts and ecologists, getting our boots muddy whilst continuing to scope out plans for the land. The more time we spend on site, the more our excitement grows about the scale of the opportunity. Standing on a small hill at the centre of the site, you can see first hand the valuable habitat corridor that could be created by planting the Lower Chew Forest so that it connects with the existing neighbouring woodlands that are adjacent to our site.
However, the work is far from done and we are back at our desks working with local communities, businesses and the media to spread the word and raise the money to try and get this project across the line.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this Crowdfunder with your friends, families, employers.
If you are new to this page and haven’t yet made a donation, please check out our exciting reward offers and consider supporting the Lower Chew Forest today.
