PlantOne, Thousand Year Trust & Working Woodlands Cornwall
When we completed our competition for Baloo we were delighted to let Jake (the winner) choose which charity we would donate to. He decided that he wanted to split the donation and give to three different organisations. In Jake's words - 'The £1,050 donation has been split equally between three organisations very close to my heart - PlantOne Cornwall, Working Woodland Cornwall, and The Thousand Year Trust. All are working towards a shared wider goal of combatting the climate and ecological crises we are living through, by protecting and enhancing woodlands across Cornwall - something that I feel very passionately about. They will help improve biodiversity, cut carbon, and increase connectivity to these natural spaces. PlantOne Cornwall will work with landowners to plant new, high-quality, resilient woodlands; Working Woodlands will expand the their education and impact surrounding sustainable forestry practices; and The Thousand Year Trust will be increasing research and action for expanding the amount of temperate rainforest habitat.'
