Where the money went

A portfolio, not a programme: individual initiatives, each one funded and each one added here after it happened rather than before. The first is a stand of Douglas fir on the Shaytanka river, in the Sverdlovsk region.

Live

Douglas fir saplings, Sverdlovsk region

DST's founder donated to a friend, Max F., to source and buy Douglas fir saplings for planting in the Urals — chosen for how long they live and what they do for the soil around them.

Next entries land here as they happen.
