By 19 March 2009 A Click for the Forest aims to raise the necessary funds to save Verles old growth forest from logging. The current forest owner was going to log it already last winter but has agreed to give A Click for the Forest untill 19 March 2009 to raise enough funds (7 450 000 SEK including stamp duty and other costs) in order to buy it. If we don't succeed, the forest owner will log it straight away. We will do everything in our power to save this important habitat, and now more than ever we need YOUR help to succeed!
