New construction of boardwalk near the biggest cedar tree in the Lower Avatar Grove.Sep 3 2013

Thank you! Avatar Boardwalk support from Hemp & Co and Haircrafting!

Sep 3 2013

Thank you to Hemp and Company of Victoria (www.hempandcompany.com) for producing their own Avatar Tunic, a 55% hemp/45% organic cotton terry blend tunic style sweatshirt – so comfy that you will feel like your own Avatar – and donating $5 from each sale in the month of July to the Ancient Forest Alliance! They have a limited number of Avatar Tunics remaining and have two locations to visit on 1102 Government Street and 422 Craigflower in Vic West.

The Ancient Forest Alliance is also very grateful to be the beneficiaries of Alexandra Buesse and Haircrafting's monthly ‘Donation Day’. All the proceeds donated from this day are going towards funding the construction of the boardwalk in Avatar Grove! Alexandra, a Certified German Master Hairdresser who specializes in organic and 100% natural hair products, operates Haircrafting-Holistic Hair Products & Services (www.haircrafting.com) in North Vancouver. A big thanks to her for donating her time as well as to all her clients who donated and received a spectacular hairdressing experience along with supporting the preservation of our ancient forests!
