We’re delighted to let you know that this year, instead of sending Christmas cards, we’ve donated 40 trees to our BookSource tree grove!
In 2021 we started our own grove of trees with Trees for Life a conservation charity dedicated to rewilding the Scottish Highlands. The trees we plant will help rewild the Caledonian Forest, a rich habitat found only in the Scottish Highlands.
There are now 51 trees in our grove, and we will be adding to that next year. Our grove has its own webpage (see link below) where you can keep track of our progress and donate trees if you would like to.
