Happy holidays from the AFA

Dec 25 2023/Announcements, Thank You

Happy Holidays from the AFA!

We hope you and your loved ones have a safe and healthy holiday season and find some time to spend in nature. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of standing in the presence of ancient giants; a wave of wonder, serenity, and calm washes over you. The healing nature of these ecosystems has never been more important to our personal and planetary well-being.

As 2023 comes to a close, we want to extend our deepest thanks for the support you’ve shown over this past year. Together, we have achieved so much. We look forward to all that’s still to come.

For the forests,
The Ancient Forest Alliance team
