Forests Without Frontiers combines nature restoration with creativity helping whole ecosystems – including human communities – to flourish.

In the context of a threatened and degraded natural environment, Forests Without Frontiers collaborates with local people and partners to restore ecosystems through tree planting, tree tending and community events enriched with visual and auditory storytelling. We believe in preserving and restoring natural and cultural heritage together, recognising that they are intertwined. 

Through music and art we engage and inspire people of all ages to connect with and celebrate their landscapes – all while giving back to nature.

All FWF projects are based on our driving principles: 

Restore - We help regenerate and protect ecosystems

Nurture - We celebrate culture and community

Inspire - We create music and art

Our projects are delivered in partnership with local organisations and communities that share our vision and values. We choose to work with credible strategic partners – such as Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC) and the Cambridge Conservation Initiative’s Endangered Landscapes Programme (ELP) – to help us identify projects based on deep commitments to the wellbeing of people and planet. Specifically, we look for projects that are:

•  Ecologically-sound (implement location-specific best conservation practices based on expert input and advice)

• Community-oriented (involve local people and communities in horizontal, rather than top-down, processes and assessments)

• Open-minded (consider creative or novel approaches)

• Intersectional (benefit and involve diverse members of society)

• Transparent (upfront with challenges, solutions, project costs and operations)

FWF’s own evolution embodies our belief that forests are truly without frontiers. From an early focus only on tree-planting to our current broad engagement with music, culture, education and resilient landscapes, the interconnection between ecological and cultural ecosystems is at the heart of what we do.

FWF is always interested in new project partners and artistic endeavours that align with our mission. If you have an idea or suggestion for an arts and/or conservation project, please submit a project idea form. *

 *Please note that while we accept project ideas of any size, scale, or scope that address one or several of our core values (nature, music, community), the submission form is not a guarantee of support, and all projects must first be considered by our team for suitability and feasibility. See the form for more details.
