I set out to plant as many trees as I could in late 2006. Ive often wondered if Guerrilla tactics on tackling climate change and helping the environment are the only way to kick start a revolution for sustainability. The current authoritative boundaries have no way of moving fast enough. I now believe it needs to be part of larger movement towards tackling capitalism itself, to put an halt to its relentless consumption of the earth. But there is hope which can spread from little actions, and being no great organiser of events or genuine protester, I still do hope that my tree planting gestures spread a desire towards others to do the same.

My Guerrilla tree planting plan goes under the name of Green Graffiti. I wanted to plant trees where I thought there should be trees - not just in areas where it is legally sound.

It is a idealistic thought, but if every seed shed from every tree on this land had the chance to germinate, one autumn. Then Britain would be virtually covered from top to bottom in trees. I long to see the day when trees have reclaimed as much as possible of the land they used to occupy, co-existing with human settlement. My actions are minuscule compared with my ideas, but on this page I have shown a few Green Graffiti successes, ones that I hope make a change to that area, no matter how small. The areas were chosen for a number of reasons; on some stretches of land there were plans for new building developments, ones which I would described as unjustified; some stretches of land were on county boarders, which played into my ideas of one day 'greening over' my home county - thus the county border seemed a great place to exemplify Green Graffiti.
