We're Back and Ready to Revive notjustatree!

After a long pause of three years, we are excited to announce that notjustatree is back and ready to be revived! Thank you to everyone who still supported our website during this break. Despite the fact that we have not updated our blog for a long time, that will change today with some changes we have ready. We hope that we can make it worth the wait!

Why We Went on a Break

We understand that three years is a long time to be silent. During this period, many of us were busy with work and school. But we haven't ignored our mission to raise awareness about deforestation- in fact, we have taken on a couple of projects about this issue that we will 100% share with you in future blog posts!

What Has Changed

Of course, we didn't take this break for no reason. In fact, you have probably already noticed some changes that have taken place on our website! In the past month, we have:

• Redesigned notjustatree with an entirely new layout, font set, and colour palette

• Updated the Home, About me and Event pages with more information about our past and latest projects

• Added a Communities page (which is still a work in progress)

• Fixed a couple of complications and bugs regarding the mobile layout

• Simplified the submission forms in the Submit your work, Get in touch and Let's chat! areas for future suggestions and project submissions from our audience

What to Expect

We have already made some changes to notjustatree, but we are also looking towards the future. From now on, we will aim to:

• Post consistently every Sunday at around 9:15AM (Swiss time, UTC +2) on our blog

• Introduce more interactive elements on our website, especially on the Communities page

• Personally look at any suggestions you have for our website

• Post any and all appropriate, deforestation-related submissions on our blog

• Take on more climate-friendly projects and update you about them

As mentioned, if you have any suggestions for anything you want to change or add, don't be scared to tell us!

How You Can Help Shape Our Future

Our website is not just a place for us to talk; it’s a space for everyone who cares about forests and the environment. Whether you have ideas for articles, stories about deforestation efforts, or suggestions on how we can improve the site, we want to hear from you. Your voice matters and it can help guide the direction of notjustatree.

Here are some ways you can contribute:

• Submit articles or stories about deforestation in your area or globally

• Share photos or artwork that highlight the beauty and importance of forests

• Suggest topics you want us to cover, such as reforestation projects, wildlife protection, or sustainable living tips

• Join discussions by commenting on posts and becoming members in communities

  
  

Why Your Participation Matters

Deforestation affects everyone. It changes ecosystems, impacts climate, and threatens the homes of countless species. By sharing your experiences and knowledge, you help build a stronger, more informed community. Together, we can raise awareness and inspire action that goes beyond words.

We believe that every story counts. Whether it’s a small local effort or a large-scale campaign, your contribution can spark interest and motivate others to get involved. This is why we encourage everyone to submit something for us to post. Your input will make notjustatree a richer, more diverse platform.

We are grateful that so many of you have remained a part of this journey. This revival of our website is not only a fresh start, but also an extension of a multitude of projects and events that have taken place in the past. Thank you all for supporting notjustatree!

Sincerely,

Kiersten

Founder of notjustatree
