Description
Forests Forever is a perpetual calendar – good for every year – that has been designed for anyone who appreciates trees and forests. It features a different photograph for every day of the year, illustrating the beauty and diversity of trees from more than 45 countries around the world, and covering all the main forest ecosystems on the planet, from tropical rainforests to desert palms, and from mangroves to rare conifers.
The photographs are combined with inspiring and thoughtful quotes from people who have been touched deeply by Nature (including Wangari Maathai, John Muir, Richard St Barbe Baker, Rabindranath Tagore, Rachel Carson, Hermann Hesse and many others) to create a daily statement about the importance of forests that is both compelling and contemplative.
At a time of accelerating deforestation there is an urgent need to ensure that natural forests are protected and restored for the long term on the planet. By providing a daily source of inspiration, this calendar is intended to help stimulate the positive actions that will ensure that there are indeed forests forever in our world.
The calendar measures 120 x 145 mm, is produced to a very high quality standard and comes with an elegant protective slipcase. Drawing on over 40 years of photographing the world’s forests, the creation of this calendar has been a labour of love and it makes an ideal gift for anyone who cares about trees and forests, and their future on the planet.
Price: £16 each, plus £3.95 post and packing

I received my Forests Forever perpetual calendar from Alan this week and I am very pleased with this very useful desk calendar, being perpetual the calendar helps to reduce annual waste. I love the range of pictures and the little paragraphs of text on each new day. The calendar comes spiral bound and in a hard wearing slip case, which is again covered in great photos of forests. This is an excellent item and would make a great Christmas gift.

This is a beautiful desk calendar. Each day a new photograph and inspirational quote from a great author, poet or sage. The photographs are all Alan’s and are all expertly taken with a good eye to content, detail and composition. This is a desk calendar that will last forever, just as we hope our forests do. The only problem I have now is deciding who I give it to. I want to give it as an inspirational gift but also want to keep it. Looks like I’ll have to just get another!

What a great gift to oneself and others! The photos are amazing and the quotes are so fitting and well chosen. This calendar is a real work of love! So now I’m reminded every day how important all those incredible trees are for humankind and at the same time inspired and humbled. Thank you Alan for this gift to all of us 🙏
