Reforesting Scotland

Discovering Reforesting Scotland was a huge milestone in my life. Having become involved with a local campaign against an opencast coal mine, my activist journey had just begun.

Trees for Transition and Big Society?

Remember that windy woodland walk in Devon at the UK Transition Conference 2010?

Robin Walters' woodland ramble was a highlight of the conference for many people. There's a real hunger out there for people to understand woodlands and trees in general and how to work with them and help them thrive.

Trees for Transition

Welcome to the new "Trees for Transition" Forum!


We have been set up as a thread of the Food Theme to begin with - thank you Ed.


Following our fascinating walk and talk at the Transition Conference recently, I look forward to hearing about the many ways in which trees and woods can help us mitigate and adapt to climate change and peak oil and make the transition to a low-carbon future.
