We don’t just plant trees..
Serving the community and giving back has always been at the heart of what we are all about. Whether that looks like small events such as bake sales, pub quizzes, or banquet nights; we also like to go all out and you’re likely to find one of us cycling for 24 hours straight, running insanely long distances, or climbing peaks with a weighted vest on!
No matter the cause, locally or internationally, we will always do our best to support and give a helping hand where we can.
Since 2019, our team has been responsible for fundraising over £21,000 and we will look to double this before 2030 at a minimum!
Charity Fundraising
Outside of tree planting, we look to host social events at local venues, organise beach cleans, and educational events whilst collaborating with some pretty cool organisations. On average, every two to three weeks we will have an event on outside of the tree planting season, which is always free to join and most of the time, we like to raise a few quid for charity if we can :)
Meet Up + Socials
We aim to organise as many community tree planting sessions throughout the year with our partners and look to expand upon this in the following years. Currently, we are averaging about 5,000 - 7,000 trees a year planted and looked after, but we hope with our Community Tree Nursery we can double this before 2027.
Tree Planting
Our core team is comprised from a scientific and educational background, and so we are delighted to now be taking the next steps to further our research projects across our managed sites and look to involve more of the student population moving forward. Community outreach programms are in development, so no doubt you’ll be seeing us in your schools and colleges very shortly!
