There are moments when you truly feel you’re doing something important. That’s exactly how we feel every time we head out into the field as part of the FoRest Lords – Together for Nature project and plant more saplings. Everything in the forest moves to a different rhythm. It’s quieter, calmer, fresher. You can hear the rustle of leaves, smell the earth and the damp air, and, working together, find a kind of satisfaction that’s hard to compare to anything else. It’s in this atmosphere that we’ve been planting trees for the past 5 years – with a better future for all of us in mind.
On Friday, April 17, as we do every year around this time, full of energy and enthusiasm, we went to the Stare Jabłonki Forest District to meet up with our friendly foresters and, under their supervision, plant another section of forest. This time, it was 2,500 young oak trees, helping us reach the remarkable milestone of 10,000 trees planted since the project began. Behind that number lies teamwork, commitment, and a genuine sense that together we can do something good for nature.
To mark the 5th anniversary of FoRest Lords, a wooden gazebo has also been placed at the site of our very first plantings. Surrounded by trees, paths, and the quiet of the forest, it has naturally become a place for a short rest. You can sit down there, catch your breath, and simply spend a moment close to nature. For us, it is a beautiful symbol of the project’s five years and a reminder that it is worth returning to the place where something important began.
Thank you to everyone who is part of FoRest Lords. 10,000 trees is a wonderful achievement, but what brings us even greater joy is knowing that many more years of working together for nature still lie ahead.
