How It Works


9 Trees a year is needed to balance the average UK citizen’s carbon consumption.


Every year you subscribe, we plant 9 trees and create a woodland around them. A woodland that thrives, not a hastily planted tree unsuitable to the local environment.

You subscribe - we deliver

We plant your trees in new woodland in England or Wales.

We connect you with local biodiversity through our local network updates.

We conserve and manage your woodland as it grows.

We plant another 9 Trees for you the following year!

Where do we plant? See our projects page.

Why plant trees?

'The best way to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere is through trees.' Sir David Attenborough, 2018.

Planting trees is one of the most effective ways of capturing and storing carbon. But this process happens over the life of the tree and can take 25 years for it to be storing a significant amount of carbon.

We need to start planting trees now, before it's too late.

Despite being one of the world's richest countries, the UK is currently taking a backseat on climate change. This needs to change.

Why carbon balancing?

Carbon balancing compensates for the carbon emissions an individual creates each year.

Reducing your carbon emissions should always be considered first.

A zero carbon lifestyle isn’t *yet* within reach for most of us, as we live in a modern world.

This is why we offer carbon balancing.

Understanding your emissions is a good first step.

We recommend calculating your own carbon footprint, which you can do with the calculator below.
