Five years after the devastating wildfire that swept through Arakapas, hope continues to grow.

This weekend, our incredible community came together for a successful volunteer morning, watering the young trees that are helping restore a landscape once devastated by fire. Every tree watered is another step towards bringing this forest back to life for future generations.

A huge thank you to our Head Volunteer, Evdoras, for leading the morning's activities and coordinating our fantastic team of volunteers. Your dedication and leadership make days like these possible. 🙏

We also want to be transparent with our community. While we've made great progress, our work doesn't end once the trees are planted. The long, hot summer means these young trees need consistent watering to survive, and right now our biggest challenge isn't equipment, it's people power.

We urgently need more volunteers, especially people who live in or near Arakapas, who can help us care for the site throughout the summer. Even a couple of hours every now and then can make a real difference and help ensure these trees survive and thrive.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support this project. Together, we're not just planting trees, we're restoring a forest and building a more resilient future.

If you'd like to volunteer or support our reforestation efforts, we'd love to hear from you.

Hello to you all! What a wonderful rainy year it has been in Cyprus, but the most important bit begins on Sunday 19th July morning at 9am when we will begin the tree watering period. This is crucial in the first 3-5 years for a newly planted forest to ensure its survival. I hope you will all be able to join my good friends Evdoras and Louie who will guide you to make sure our little forest has the best year possible!

All you need to do is turn up, give some young trees a drink of water, enjoy nature, enjoy beautiful Arakapas village, and be home in time for brunch.

Please share the leaflet to help us spread awareness, thank you! 🤝💚🌲

Yesterday’s freshwater at the pond in in Shotton, North Wales, was full of discovery, curiosity, and hands-on learning.

One of the highlights was the discovery of NEWTS! a species never previously recorded at the site and a fantastic reminder of the importance of these freshwater habitats.

This ephemeral pond was teeming with life, giving hundreds of children from local schools the opportunity to take part in pond dipping, species identification, and learning about the value of freshwater ecosystems.

A huge thank you to all the pupils, teachers, volunteers, and partners who helped make the day such a success. Protecting freshwater starts with helping the next generation connect with nature.

The wildlife pond at Caledonian Park in Islington has burst into life this spring (as has the duckweed!) Within a week or so it will be alive with wildflowers and a true urban haven for inner city wildlife.

Truly idyllic scenes at just a few months on from our wildlife pond rebuild. Creating freshwater habitats like this in urban environments is crucial to help maintain connectivity for wildlife, but it also helps us to reconnect with ourselves and others in a more natural and healthier way. A staggeringly beautiful outcome! Wow...
