"Buy your own tree" campaign still continues

We entered a new year of 2009 and our campaign "Buy your own tree - Save a forest" still continues. In 1997 the WOLF Forest Protection Movement began a campaign to save a native beech-fir forest stand in the Čergov Mountains of eastern Slovakia. The forest stand, extending over 21 hectares, costs 3.2 million Slovak Crowns (an equivalent of about 100,000 US$) and at the present time WOLF is already the owner.The collection goes on as the Wolf Reserve is to be enlarged continuously. We have bought next almost 15 ha as interests in the forest on nearby parcels.Our reserve may be small by now, but soon this might change. In order to become a proper stable evolution forest in the future it should extend over a larger area. Our objective for the years to come is to collect 1 milion euro so as to gradually purchase the 180 hectares adjacent to the Wolf reserve. Racking your brain over what to give your friends or family ?Do you want to give something beautiful and unusual for a birthday, Valentine's Day, wedding or just out of love?If so, you can join those who are saving a piece of wilderness in the Eastern Slovakia by symbolically buying a tree.One such tree costs 50 EUR and the buyer contributes to the protection of forest stands adjacent to the Wolf Private Nature Reserve in the Čergov Mountains which are to enlarge the reserve. The tree, once bought, has the good fortune that it will remain in the forest and won't be taken away even after its death.We have a great pleasure to inform, especially those who have already joined the Buy Your Own Tree campaign, that on February 8th, 2002 we have raised the necessary amount of 3.2 million Slovak Crowns for the protection of the 21 hectares of the natural beech-fir forest. The last donation in form of symbolic purchases of a tree came from Ms. Caroline Cox, Oregon. A rarity among the February contributions was the gift of a man from Slovakia, who bought two trees for his twin daughters for their 2nd birthday that they had precisely on February 2nd, 2002.
