Great to see that Avon Needs Trees have now reached an agreement to buy their first 34 acre plot near Chippenham. More and more people are realising that trees are among our best allies in reducing climate change. The project will also achieve ecological restoration and contribute to flood control, so a triple win. And owning the land ensures it has a long-term future.

Next step, a new round of crowdfunding to cover costs of an ecological survey to plan the planting. Fundraising for the purchase and planting will follow. Read the details, and contribute here.
