Your February Newsletter ~ A Love Letter To Gaia
Total Trees Funded To Date: 15,621,135
This month we are celebrating the one who has given us everything. We honour the flow of water, the nourishment of soil and the shade of leaves. We revel in the crunch of snow and the gentle caress of wind. Thank you Gaia for all that you give to us as we continue to share the mission of shifting humanity from a consumer to a restorer species.
This month we have so many ways for you to step into and deepen your love of our Mother Earth. Join us as we celebrate our love for the forests and for Gaia and invite you to…

To celebrate our love of Gaia this Valentine’s Day, we are partnering with Merit Motion Pictures, the creators of Call Of The Forest, to bring you a virtual screening of this groundbreaking and pivotal film. Call Of The Forest is a one hour documentary following visionary scientist and treesister, Diana Beresford-Kroeger, as she journeys to the most beautiful forests of the Northern Hemisphere and discovers both their secrets and why they matter so much to the health of the planet. You are invited to watch the film online between the 11th and 16th of February and accompany Diana into the ancient Raheen Wood of Ireland, the cedar forests of Japan, the great boreal forest of Canada and so much more. Find out more here.
In addition to the screening, TreeSisters is thrilled to invite you to a live Q&A on the 18th February with Call of the Forest filmmaker, Jeff McKay, executive producer, Merit Jensen-Carr and forest experts Catriona McGregor and Chad Hanson to discuss the impact of the wildfires devastating our global forests and how the message of Call of the Forest is even more important than ever.
