Heartwood Forest – a blog by Louise Neicho

Thank you from the Heartwood team

March 28th 2012

Heartwood’s third tree planting season is coming to a close and we would like to thank every single volunteer who has helped us to reach our ambitious target of 100,000 trees. Not only that we have reached the half way point; 300,000 trees have now been planted since the beginning of the project in 2009.
