Spring is well and truly on its way and the leaves are gearing up for the increase in day light hours.Our gratitude goes out to the Late David Wiseman, who mentioned the IOMWT in his will. His legacy will enable us to plant and maintain many native trees, providing habitat for wildlife and making our island a better place to live.
You can find out more about David's life here: woodlandtrust.im/late-david-wiseman/
My husband (Bob Fennell) was a close friend of David's and an executor for his will. He distributed the bequests and there was also a very substantial one to the RSPB as well as the WWF. Just a suggestion but could some of the money you received be used to plant wild fruit trees along the new heritage tail from St Johns to Ballaugh? It would be a very fitting tribute to David 🙂
We love rock and trees - So put another dime in the jukebox, babyIf you're lucky enough to find one - you can keep or rehide but either way, please post a photo of it into IOM rocks 😀
Made these for Isle of Man Woodland Trust as I'd planned to go on a tree-planting trip but alas it was cancelled due to lockdown.. they have been hidden around IM2! Good luck!
These are gorgeous! Thank you so much x
Thanks for sharing 😀
We’re passionate about looking after the environment, and we’re super excited to be working with Isle of Man Woodland Trust on the #PlantItForward campaign, which aims to increase native tree planting in the Isle of Man.
We know there are many Island-based businesses that are looking for a way to contribute to positive environmental action and help preserve the Island’s biodiversity for future generations to come. So whether it’s funding just a few trees as a one-off or making it a regular part of your CSR activities, we’d love for you to get involved.
The cost for a new sapling is only around £3, so even the smallest donations can make a big impact. For more information on Plant It Forward and how you can help rewild the Isle of Man, go to woodlandtrust.im/plantitforward/
