Future Forest Friends leaf-keys<\/p><\/div>\n

Why not give a completely unique gift this Christmas – a woodland plot in the name of\u00a0 your family or friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An exclusive winter planting day, a green space for summer walks, woodland picnics for years to come and involvement in an environmental project that helps explore what a sustainable woodland could look like in future \u2013 that\u2019s a really special gift to put under the Christmas tree this year.\u00a0 Plots in the unique, new \u2018Future Forest<\/strong>\u2019 being planted by environmental charity Sylva Foundation make the perfect Christmas gift for eco-conscious friends or family who love trees or wood, enjoy getting outdoors or simply have enough \u2018stuff\u2019 already.<\/p>\n

Give this gift to one person or a family and the new Future Forest Friends<\/strong> will be able to get their hands on a spade, boots on the ground and, with the help of expert Foresters, chose and plant twenty-five trees at special planting days in January or February 2017.\u00a0 Aside from creating their own stake in the future, Forest Friends will be able to follow the development of a unique \u2018demonstration\u2019 woodland that\u2019s helping discover which tree species can withstand climate change. Each Future Forest Friend will receive a certificate, annual updates as the forest grows and their own hand-carved \u2018leaf-key\u2019 to their plot, designed and made by wood-carver Simon Clements.<\/p>\n

The Sylva Future Forest of 7,500 trees will be planted on former farmland at the Sylva Wood Centre in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire in winter 2016\/17. \u00a0There are about 300 plots of 25 trees each which are available for individuals or businesses to sponsor. Gift sponsorship can be done monthly at \u00a35\/month for three years or a one-off payment of \u00a3180.<\/p>\n
