I talk a lot about wildflowers but today it’s all about the forests! Walking in a forest with the speckled light filtered through the branches is my mindfulness place. Think back to the last time you visited one and if it’s been over a few weeks a month or years this is your reminder to go and enjoy the foresty ambiance. There are loads of small changes you can make to your everyday to help safeguard these magic places. Things like using sustainable office supplies. The forward thinking team at Red-Inc is a great shout for this! Of course, Who Gives A Crap are pretty ace at sustainable loo roll. Look out for the Rainforest Alliance certification of the foods you buy too. And support The Woodland Trust by taking a visit to some of their woodlands, and either pick up some litter on your walk, have tonnes of fun on a community tree planting day or even drop a donation to them. #Forests #InternationalDayOfForests #Wildflowers #Nature #NatureRecovery #Biodiversity
Today is the International Day of Forests! This is a day for celebrating everything that forests do for us and the planet, such as: 🌳Sequester almost half the global carbon stock - over 1 TRILLION tons 🦌 Support 80% of the world’s animals, plants and insects 🌱 Reduce soil erosion and maintain nutritious soil 🚰 Provide 75% of the world’s fresh water 🌊 Help prevent flooding 🪵 Provide food, shelter, biomass, wood and fibre Our forests are still under threat, despite efforts made to curb deforestation. You can help by avoiding disposable paper products, recycling paper and card, choosing FSC-certified wood products, and supporting forest conservation organisations like The Woodland Trust. #ForestDay #Forests #WoodlandTrust #Deforestation #Biodiversity #CarbonCapture #ClimateAction
