Can you see it? 💚 Nature has a beautiful way of mirroring our mission. At WeForest, we recognise the undeniable link between thriving forests and thriving communities. Our work goes beyond tree planting, uniting community development and reforestation to create lasting, positive change across social, economic and environmental metrics. By collaborating with local communities, we co-cultivate community-based forest governance, co-create customised forest restoration strategies and co-develop resilient forest-friendly income-generating activities. Choosing WeForest means joining a movement that has restored 52,000 hectares of forest, grown nearly 82 million trees and touched the lives of 67,000 families. Together, we're helping people love their planet back 🌎🌱 #reforestation #restoration #trees #generationrestoration #community 📸: © N. Van Ingen

Teamwork and community involvement are essential in bringing up the change we want to see in Conservation efforts. I was glad to be part of the launch of the Strategic Plan for the next five years and beyond. #strategicplanning #communityempowerment #conservationefforts #teamwork

Very positive steps from a community group. This seems to be occurring more and more due to a lack of support and policy importance from political parties. More communities should take this type of action if they have the finances to do so. Crowd funding or no crowd funding. #community #environmentalprotection #nature #climateaction #wiltshire https://lnkd.in/e8jCsaud

Let's prioritize cleanliness in our neighborhoods! 🏡 Our neighborhood is more than just a place to live; it's our home and the space where our families grow. Keeping it clean and free of litter is crucial for several reasons: 1. Public Health: Litter can spread diseases and pests, affecting everyone, especially children and the elderly. 2. Aesthetic Appeal and Property Value: A clean neighborhood is visually appealing and increases property values. 3. Environmental Impact: Litter pollutes the environment and threatens wildlife. 4. Sense of Community: Keeping the neighborhood clean fosters collaboration and strengthens bonds among neighbors. How can we contribute? • Reduce, reuse, and recycle. • Participate in community clean-up events. • Educate and motivate our neighbors. By working together, we can make our neighborhood a clean and prosperous place for all. Let's unite to build a more sustainable and healthy future! #CleanNeighborhood #Community #Sustainability
