Alan Watson Featherstone

Alan Watson Featherstone founded Trees for Life in 1985 to work to restore the Caledonian Forest to a large area of the Highlands of Scotland. This demonstrably successful project continues today. It has involved thousands of volunteers in the planting of over 410,000 native trees and inspired similar endeavours in the UK and South America. A member of the Findhorn Community since 1978, Alan is now spearheading another major project, Restoring the Earth, aiming to use his tried and tested practical and inspirational methods to promote the restoration of the world's degraded ecosystems. He sees this as "the essential and central task for humanity in the 21st century." Copyright
