Our chairman Falk Horning shared some of his thoughts about tree planting with Unesco Biosphere Isle of Man.
🌳🦔🐦
Despite his name on the article, the archievements of the Isle of Man Woodland Trust are the result of a continuous team effort. The many generous volunteers at our planting- and tree caretaking sessions, our directors handling the back office and the charitable donors have all made the planting of more than 26,000 trees possible.
We look forward to our next planting season starting in October this year.
The guardian features a 'tree of the week' column. 😍 If you have a photograph of a tree that is special to you, send it to us with a small text and we are happy to post it.

This old beauty of a Beech tree is in central Douglas not so far away from Broadway & just across the road from Winerite on Victoria Rd, you can't get your arms around the trunk.
Here's another splendid tree a Hawthorne this time, something we look at drinking tea after our work parties up Centenary Pk.
Hawthorne
General knowledge Q - where in Douglas is this beauty of a Horse Chestnut tree?
International House, offices on Victoria rd.... Lovely tree...
We have a lovely old chestnut tree in the garden of my family home . Been there since before the house was built so at least since the late sixties.
Victoria road
It’s a beauty
That’s Victoria Road. But I’ve never noticed it before 😬
awesome 30 minute program while eating dinner: watch this guy regenerate a multi-catchment area 🌳😍🌳🦇🐦
Ah, this was fun. The cake was delicious as well! ~IOMWT
Last planting cancelled!
As you have probably already guessed, our last planting scheduled for this Sunday is indeed cancelled.
On the bright side of things, we already have planted 3010 trees this year, making it our best first half year ever. This follows our best half year in total in late 2019.
We hope to get back into the green woodlands as soon as the crisis is over. Over the summer we hopefully will be taking care of some of our existing woodlands, depending on how long the situation goes on. From October we should plant trees again.
We hope that you stay mentally and physically strong in this challenging time - there is nothing more important than our health. This time might even provide an opportunity for reflection and personal development.
Well done, everyone. I’m so proud to serve our wonderful little charity. Stay safe 🌳 x

We are very sad to have learnt that our long time friend and former director of the Isle of Man Woodland Trust - Lawrence Rea - has passed away. Lawrence was one of the warmest hearted humans we could have hoped to meet, a true environmentalist and as many would testify, a world class hugger.
Our sincere condolences and love are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
Rest easy, Lawrence. You were brilliant 🌳 ~IOMWT
😥 He had such a big heart! Lots of love and hugs to those of you who were close to him.💚
This is so desperately sad. Lawrence was such a sweetheart and I always loved spending time with him at our plantings. Sending love and big squashy hugs to all who knew him xxx
Lawrence made time for anybody who passionately cared for our Manx environment ... I treasure my conversations with him ... he will be hugely missed . Thoughts are with his family & friends at this sad time 💚🌿 xx
Shocked to hear this- condolences from us to family and friends. Happy eternal planting Lawrence. Kirsty, Stefan and Eden.
