"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

- An ancient chinese proverb.

Co-forest:Acorn

Acorn is what we hope will be our first of many Co-forests.

Between November 2021 and February 2022 we hosted 30 planting days with hundreds of volunteers. In total our Co-foresters donated 3000 hours of their time and helped us plant 10,000 trees across 11 acres of land. Our supporters will be able to come back and visit their plots of land and now have a meaningful legacy for life for either themselves, families or businesses.

What does it look like?

The map below shows what our aspirations for Acorn were. We are working on an updated map that accurately shows what our forest looks like.

Creating a blueprint

Beyond planting a forest, this inaugural project aims to create a blueprint for other co-forest projects across the UK, which could not only plant thousands of trees each, but provide access to woodland for local schools, community groups and support research projects.

Through our work in the Bath & Bristol area, we’re hoping to put together a free-to-use best-practice guide and framework and then invite others to create co-forests near them.

Let's talk trees.

If you’d like to get involved in the Co-forest vision, donate as a business, or simply discuss the project further, we’d love to hear from you.
