Hi everyone
Just to let you know that the campaign is going very well indeed.
The support from the local residential and business community (and
indeed from further afield - a donation was made yesterday from
Australia) has been a wonderful thing to experience. Thanks are owed to
many (you know who you are), and I look forward to sharing the whole
story further down the line.
I'm also writing to tell you that the Woodland Trust has been
incredibly supportive this week, and Teazle Wood has become one of their
WOODWATCH featured woodlands. Many thanks to Alice Farr and her
colleagues at the Woodland Trust for their help and hard work. Take a
look:
Do share this if you can - it will help raise awareness not just of
Teazle Wood but of woodland in general. The following comment is from
the Woodland Trust's website:
Why woods matter
Woods, and the trees that make up a vital component of them, are
essential to life. They have a myriad of different benefits for both
wildlife and people.
They stabilise the soil, generate oxygen, store carbon, play
host to a spectacular variety of wildlife, provide us with raw materials
and shelter, inspire our imaginations and our creativity.
The almost magical, mystical quality of woods makes them a great
place for relaxation and recreation. A walk in the woods can give
anyone a feeling of peace and tranquility. Most of us have fond
childhood memories of playing on or around trees.
A world without trees and woods would be barren and bare.
Have a good weekend.
All the best
Lucy
