Help us to expand our willow cultivation & grow our community
By voting for us!
The mission:
We have reached the voting stage in our application for a piece of the Just Transition Fund! We are asking for your vote to help us secure an amazing opportunity - to purchase and cultivate a nearby 4-acre field in Forres that will become a thriving hub of sustainable Willow production, creativity, and community connection.
Willow is the living backbone of our work - supporting local craftspeople, learners, and environmental projects across Scotland. By voting for us, you’ll help us protect this vital resource, expand access to traditional craft skills, and strengthen the resilience of Scotland’s creative and ecological future.
With your support, we’ll install essential deer fencing, improve access, and invest in tools that make our work more efficient and sustainable. This project will not only secure the long-term future of our organisation but also enhance biodiversity, link public footpaths, and open new opportunities for people to learn, make, and belong.
Your vote will help transform underused land into a living landscape that grows beauty, culture, and connection for generations to come.
Please vote for us (and four other inspiring projects - you get 5 votes!) to make this vision a reality. Together, we can make lasting change, one Willow stem at a time. 🌿
More willow means more projects like this…
Alongside our basket and willow coffin making work we intend to use the additional willow we can grow to do more riverbank restoration work - you can read more about it here
We’re ready to do the work. We just need you with us.
Help us secure this field, protect the Willow, and strengthen Scotland’s craft and ecological future.
