In an effort to expand its network of nature reserves, La Societe Guernesiaise is actively seeking land donations in Guernsey. The organization is particularly interested in planting sites and donations for its community woodland initiative. La Societe has already established two nature reserves on former greenhouses that were donated by islanders. They have also launched a community woodland project to link existing woodlands and increase the number of native species. Guernsey currently has less than 8% woodland cover, compared to 12% in the UK and 42% across mainland Europe. La Societe hopes that by establishing new woodland areas, they can provide publicly-accessible spaces and suitable locations for islanders to plant memorial trees. They are particularly interested in establishing woodlands in the north of Guernsey to counter urbanization. The organization's goal is to safeguard wildlife in places where people live and work [f170dacb].
