Join Facebook Forest and help plant a tree

Ecotopia.co.uk, who have been based in Stroud and supported the first leaflet by Ruscombe Brook Action Group want folk to join their Facebook Forest group. They are planting a tree for every 50 members of its Facebook Forest group and another tree for every 50 customers.

The first Facebook Forest is being planted on a small plot of land just outside Minchinhampton (see the site on Google Earth) on the edge of what is to be the first carbon neutral market garden. This is the first of many planned sites where Ecotopia will be helping to create new woodlands in the UK. They are hoping to find more projects to get involved in. Steve Jones, director of Ecotopia says, “We are delighted to establish our first forest. By planting indigenous species, forests can support themselves and after a short period of time will begin to support an entire ecosystem which will benefit the local countryside. We would be delighted to hear from any organisations and groups who would be interested in benefiting from having their own small Facebook Forest.”
