WILLONER
EDGE CLOSER TO HER GOAL OF GROWING 5,000 TREES !
Green-tech is proud to share an inspiring update on Janet Willoner ’ s progress . Back in 2019 , motivated by her grandchildren ’ s passion for combating climate change , Janet embarked on an ambitious mission to grow 5,000 trees from seed by the time she turns 85 - a remarkable achievement that Green-tech is delighted to support .
As 2024 draws to a close , Janet has grown an additional 800 saplings , bringing her total to an incredible 3,500 trees raised since she began this journey . Many of these saplings have been planted at Skipbridge and Bank Woods in Summerbridge , part of the beautiful Nidderdale area . These new trees will enhance the local landscape , support biodiversity , and contribute to the Northern Forest project .
Janet continues to prepare for the coming year with her characteristic determination . She has already collected and stratified seeds , ensuring they will germinate successfully when spring arrives . With the finish line in sight , she remains optimistic about achieving her target of 5,000 trees .
Janet expressed her gratitude , saying , “ I ’ m thrilled to see the progress we ’ ve made this year . Knowing these trees will stand for generations to help combat climate change and increase biodiversity is immensely rewarding . I couldn ’ t have done it without Green-tech ’ s support . Their sponsorship has provided me with the compost , grit , and fertiliser I need to grow healthy saplings without worrying about funding . I ’ m thankful they agreed to sponsor me again for another productive year .” Green-tech ’ s Marketing Director Kate Humes expressed her admiration for Janet ’ s ongoing efforts : “ Janet is an inspiration . Her dedication and hard work remind us of the power of individual action to help mitigate climate change . We ’ re delighted to help and look forward to supporting her as she works towards her 5,000- tree goal .”
Looking ahead to 2025 , Green-tech is proud to support initiatives like Janet ’ s that align with its mission of promoting sustainability and creating a greener future for all . It will continue its commitment to Janet ’ s project , ensuring she has the necessary resources to nurture her next batch of saplings .
