Anglican Communion Forest reaches four years of global growth

The Communion Forest, an Anglican Communion initiative for creation care, marked its fourth anniversary on August 3, 2026, four years after a single tree was planted at the 15th Lambeth Conference on August 3, 2022. The initiative has grown into a worldwide movement spanning mangroves and meadows to prayer gardens and prairies across the globe. The Communion Forest comprises local activities undertaken by Anglican provinces, dioceses, and individual churches focused on forest protection, tree growing, and ecosystem restoration. The diverse, distributed movement demonstrates how Anglican congregations and church bodies at multiple levels have engaged in creation stewardship as a shared commitment across the communion. The initiative represents a coordinated but locally rooted approach to environmental care, with participating Anglican communities implementing projects suited to their own bioregions and contexts while contributing to a global Anglican witness to creation care.
