FOREST HEALING
“How we view ourselves, we will view the land. We treat our land the way we treat ourselves. If we see ourselves as merely gross, physical independent beings, we will treat the land in that same way.
If we see ourselves as infinitely complex and invisibly interconnected to all other life, then we will view our relationship to the land, each other and oursevlves in an entirely more sensitive, respectful and meaningful way.”
Here you have the opportunity to book a consultation to discuss the use of your land. Whether you own an estate, farm, garden or forest, we can work with you to diversify and potentially improve the resilience of the land management system.
That may involve a design process, implementation strategy as well as stakeholder facilitation.
You are welcome to get in touch to discuss what it is you want and how we can help you.

Giant Tree Circle
A Living Symbol of Unity and Renewal
Step into the realm of the extraordinary. The Giant Tree Circle is a visionary project with roots stretching back to 1984, now coming to life across the landscapes of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and England. What began as a small seed of an idea is now unfolding into something vast, grounded, and deeply meaningful: a circle of trees planted by people from all walks of life, forming a living tapestry of stories and connection that will endure for generations to come.
The original dream was simple, yet quietly profound. One tree would be planted at each of the four cardinal compass points of Britain every four years, beginning in 1984. The final tree would be planted in the year 2000, and together they would mark a gesture of hope for the century to come. The project began, but it was never fully realised. Over the years, there were moments when people attempted to bring the vision back to life, but the circle remained incomplete.
And yet, something about it never quite disappeared. Like the acorn waiting patiently in the soil, the idea grew quietly underground. Now, it returns not as a few symbolic trees, but as a great many — thousands, perhaps even millions — planted across the land. The circle no longer stops at four points. It stretches widely and generously, across regions and borders, with its heart rooted in Ynys Môn, the island off the west coast of North Wales where the idea was first born.
This renewed vision arrives at a time when the world feels increasingly uncertain. Socially, economically, environmentally, we are facing challenges that test the strength of our relationships with each other and with the Earth. The pace of modern life can feel overwhelming, and many of us are searching for ways to slow down, to reconnect, and to remember what really matters. The Giant Tree Circle is an invitation to do just that — to turn toward the land, toward each other, and toward a future shaped not by fear or fragmentation, but by care and collaboration.
The history of these islands is complex, marked by moments of deep pain as well as profound generosity. There are stories of discord, division, and exploitation, but also of kindness, community, and connection. The Giant Tree Circle does not seek to erase this complexity. It asks us to hold it — all of it — and choose to plant something different for the generations to come.
This project doesn’t call for sameness. Each place, each person, each planted tree is unique. What it honours is the shared ground beneath our feet, the common threads of being human, and the possibility of building bridges rather than burning them. It is a symbol of resilience, neighbourliness, and the quiet power of community.
There is no future worth striving for that doesn’t centre connection — with one another, with the Earth, and with the stories that have shaped us. The Giant Tree Circle is not just about planting trees. It is about planting hope. It is about remembering that we are part of something larger, something rooted and real, and that the simple act of placing a tree in the soil can be a powerful expression of care, courage, and commitment to the future.
Wherever you are, whether you’re planting, storytelling, gathering, or simply witnessing — you are part of this circle. Together, we are growing something beautiful.
