Naturefriends & Climate Change - Questionnaire for national, regional, and local Naturefriends associations and groups

Friends of Nature UK members check your e-mail inboxes for links to the NFI survey on how Climate Change impacts on your lives... survey is anonymous, takes maybe 10-15 mins, you only need enter e-mail address.

Meanwhile for those who can remember the 2008 NFI Congress in Liberec (Czechia/Czech Republic), it remains good reading and highlights the issues which still face us:

Trees for Life: Rewilding the Scottish Highlands. Ath-fhiadhachadh na Gàidhealtachd.

26th October, 2022

At our Friends of Nature house we allocate £1 for every person staying to tree planting projects. During the 7 month season April to October 2022 we welcomed 616 guests and means we can plant a further 103 trees with TFL. Onwards and upwards as we adapt to some sort of 'new normal' and more guests will = more trees!!
