Cherry tree I guerrilla-planted outside the allotments nearly ten years ago, just coming into blossom. I don't think there's much to beat seeing a tree you planted as a little whip reach maturity

"Dec 9, 2024
Imagine transforming a desert into a thriving ecosystem in just a year.
In Niger Africa, villages came together to plant 100,000 trees and spread 20 tons of grass seed across nearly five square miles of land. With rows of Half Moons capturing water and nurturing life, the land is coming back to life—grasses, trees, and even water are returning.
Watch as a one-year-old restoration site evolves into an eight-year-old oasis, proving what’s possible with determination and care.

"That first #TreePlanting event was one of the reinforcing inspirations to me starting #LandLoversNetwork. I was expecting maybe 20 people. Who shows up to a tree planting event? I came around the corner and there was like a massive crowd of 150 people & I said, okay, we're on to something here."

#ClimateCrisis: Inflation Reduction Act Allocates $1.5 Billion for Urban #TreePlanting Projects https://www.onegreenplanet.org/environment/inflation-reduction-act-allocates-1-5-billion-for-urban-tree-planting-projects/

"a lesser-known yet critical component of this #Biden-#Harris legislation is $1.5 billion for enhancing #UrbanForestry. This is designed to combat urban #heat and improve life quality, particularly in underserved neighborhoods... unprecedented funding, nearly 40x the usual annual budget for urban #trees"

Good lessons to learn when doing municipal forestry.

If you're ever looking to get anything printed nicely can I recommend Footprint Workers Co-op as one of the most ethical #printers you'll find in the UK?

Based in #Leeds and serving all of the #UK they can do your #fliers, #posters, #zines, CD & record #sleeves, #stickers, business cards, and loads more.

You can find out a little more about them on my website which also links through to them: https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/footprint-workers-co-op/

Although if you're looking to print anything discriminatory or oppressive they'll refuse you.
