The VLM are trying to reverse woodland loss by planting future woodlands with carefully selected native trees on saved barren grazed land to create a future habitat for struggling wildlife species. A few weeks ago we planted 1250 tree saplings on plots 6 & 7

#NationalTreeWeek

Did you know?

The UK has a total woodland cover of about 13% of its land area & only about 2.5% of the UK's old forests remain. 70% of ancient woodlands in the UK have already been lost😔

The VLM is trying to reverse this. #PlantTrees 🌳

Another piece of our earth removed from cruel dairy farming and given back to life 🥳

Because you want the dead flesh of our murdered bodies or other end products of our violent abuse, & because such gratuitous cruelty is normalised in your society, on that shitty basis alone you decide it’s okay. You ignore the only significant perspective- ours.

Most New Zealand adults consume more protein than the recommended amount. They could reduce meat without risking inadequate protein intake.
