The Team.

We are at last becoming aware of the dangers affecting our unique blue world. Some people fear that it is already too late to put right the damage we have caused, but I believe there is hope if more of us act now.

Those of us who have spent most time on this planet – and who have probably caused it the most harm – have seen the biggest changes over the last few decades. Declines in wildlife and their habitats, shrinking forests and woodland, devastating changes in the climate, sewage in our streams and rivers, microplastics in our seas.

We can learn from inspirational countries such as Costa Rica where a government-led initiative in the 1990s has reversed deforestation and restored habitats. Today, 59% of its land is covered by forest, compared with 40% in 1986. Embracing nature has not just been good for the country’s flora and fauna, it has also boosted its tourism economy.

Costa Rica is a small country that is doing what is right for its people, and for our world. reforest.world is an initiative that is also starting small – an 11-acre site near Acle and the Norfolk Broads. We’re inviting people who care about our planet to sponsor a square metre for £10. Trees will be planted in the first plot on the grid, Zone 24 which is in the middle of the field. When this has been reforested the next Zone will be developed. Zone updates and pictures will be put on the website as each Zone develops.

Each Zone page will display the sponsors images/logos that helped to fund the work for that zone, although you can of course, remain completely anonymous if you wish.

Our aim is to rejuvenate this part of our lovely county and other areas in the UK by creating a diverse woodland habitat that will attract new species – and play a small part in healing our planet.
