With the help of our players, All Bingo Club has teamed up with Trees for Life to create the All Bingo Club tree grove within the old Caledonian Forest borders. Once covering over 1.5 million hectares of the Scottish highlands and once home to creatures such as the beaver, wild boar and lynx the forest is now only 1% of its original size and much of the wildlife has disappeared.
Trees for Life is working to restore the Caledonian Forest for the long term (250 years or more), as a fully functioning healthy ecosystem, complete with all its constituent species. Tree planting by itself is not enough, as the wellbeing of the planet depends on the ecological services that intact forests provide. Their work focuses on all parts of the ecosystem, from fungi and insects in the soil to large mammals such as red squirrels, wild boar and beavers, as they are all are essential to the whole.
In addition, because of the long-term vision and timeframe for their project, and due to the remote locations where they work, the trees that Trees For Life plant will grow indefinitely and will never be cut down. They will be there as part of a restored Caledonian Forest for generation upon generation into the future.
