We won a biosphere award for Creg-Y-Cowin🏆- proud of our fantastic team work there!

Yesterday we planted 276 trees, thanks for everyone who helped🎉UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man Award Winners 2024🎉

🥁The Biosphere Award for Environment goes to...✨ Manx Wildlife Trust and Isle of Man Woodland Trust ✨

💫The two charities are transforming 105 acres of land into a Celtic rainforest to enhance biodiversity and support global conservation. With funding from Aviva, over 7,000 trees have been planted so far, engaging the local community through education and volunteering, and positively contributing to our Biosphere🍃

☀️🌄
First timer or experienced, single persons or small groups, you can just rock up without prior contact. We are going to show newcomers our method of planting trees. It is okay if you come a bit late or need to leave early.
🦋🐛🪱🐝
We are going to plant ~300 saplings. The species we plant are mostly native to the island, fantastic for wildlife. The resulting woods are much more varied than forestry plantations grown for timber.
⏱☕️🫖🥾
The plantings tend to last for two to three hours and we share coffee and tea afterwards. Sturdy shoes are important and warm clothing that can get some dirt on it are recommended. We always have some spare gardening gloves.
🚗🚌
As usual we recommend ride sharing, helps with directions and creates joy.
