Early last year, through our connections with Communion Forest’s friends and the WWF, we were introduced to Restor. We invited several Provincial representatives to participate in a pilot program to test the tool and provide feedback. Many of them embraced the opportunity and continue to use the tool to this day. Communion Forest believes that Restor aligns with our vision of empowering individuals in different levels in the Anglican Communion map ecosystem conservation, protection and restoration as well as tree growing initiatives; a virtual forest to represent the real forests and activities happening at the local level.

On November 7, 2024, we brought together Darlington Musekiwa of the Diocese of Central Zimbabwe and Rev. Caroline Howard of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas for a webinar. They shared their firsthand experiences using the Restor tool. Watch Darlington’s presentation here and Rev. Caroline’s presentation here.

Bishop Cathleen Chittenden Bascom, from the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas, offered a devotional reflection and shared her insights from COP16  – the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, held in Cali, Columbia. Watch her reflections here.
