Whilst many charities are front and centre of our minds there are many smaller charities that are we forget that help restore the impact we all have on the planet and the natural world and get us back on track with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),^[ for a 2 degree world.

Trees for Life is an award-winning charity working to restore our country's forests such as the Caledonian Forest. Our vision is to restore natural forests and rare wildlife to a spectacular wilderness region of the Scottish Highlands, including our 10,000 acre Dundreggan Conservation Estate. Our work is about people as much as places. Our conservation work is carried out by volunteers and funded by our members, charitable trusts, corporate supporters and people who dedicate a tree or grove.

Help me raise funding and awareness for this charity so they can keep doing their great work that helps offset our own impact on nature and the planet.

This challenge is very weather dependent, so it may be the case that it is too dangerous to make an attempt to climb Mont Blanc this weekend. If so I apolgise and hope you agree that it is a great charity to donate to anyway given how dangerous this endevour seems to be ! If not, let me know and I'll get the chartity to refund it.
