EUROPE
Europe’s forests have historically faced extreme deforestation pressure as a result of human expansion, conflict, the industrial revolution, and other factors. After WWII, over 120,000 miles of hedgerow were removed during intensive farming efforts. In more recent times, over the last decade, 1,000+ irreplaceable ancient woods have been threatened by development. Pests, diseases, and climate change only increase the pressure on already fragmented woodlands, and in the UK alone, millions of ash trees are threatened by the Chalara ash dieback.
With your help, we will:
- Restore native, historic woodlands
- Increase habitat connectivity
- Engage communities with restoration and environmental education
How We Do It
As Europe experiences increasing climate change impacts such as record-high temperatures, forest fires in Greece, flooding in Italy, and more, reforestation is more important than ever. Our Europe projects are planting trees to increase climate change resilience, improve public access to green spaces, improve habitat connectivity, and stabilize and enrich soils.
Through thoughtful reforestation initiatives, we can ensure a greener future for European forests and communities. Restoring native woodlands is an important step towards climate regulation, protecting access to clean water, encouraging native wildlife, and more. Our carefully planned projects are designed to have cascading benefits, including natural, social, financial, and inspirational returns.
