 <\/p>\n

Trees for Life<\/a> are working towards a vision to plant another 1 million trees within 5 years \u00a0within the Caledonian Forest, an area of wild forest which has become a symbol for the harsh effects of deforestation across the world. Once covering 1.5 million hectares of Scotland’s Highlands, the forest now contains just 1% of our native pinewoods once found here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trees for life are aiming to bring life to 1000 square miles of forest. Thanks to donations from Ethical Superstore<\/a> customers and their supporters, Trees for Life have already planted 1 million trees, created an additional 4000 hectares of forest, and have worked across 45 different locations of their project area.<\/p>\n
