Tree Appeal

The Cool Wood Company ensures each piece of timber used is ethically sourced and trees are regularly planted by us to help guarantee the future of Britain's woodlands.

Why not get involved yourself?

Carbon Footprint has teamed up with Tree Appeal enabling you to "Pledge a Tree" that will be planted and grown in the area of your choice!

Tree Appeal uses the local knowledge and expertise of tree planting partners to ensure the right trees are planted in the appropriate places. All trees are planted in reserves and managed woodland were they will live their natural lifespan and meet their biodiversity targets.

Each tree planted "offsets" your environmental impact by "breathing" in about 1 tonne of CO2 emissions over its lifetime. It's estimated that the average person needs to save about 7 tonnes of CO2 per year. So planting just 7 trees each year is one strategy for achieving this. The trees also provide sustainable habitat for wildlife and will enhance the natural landscape with native broad-leaved trees.

This is a great opportunity to support our woodland's and help guarantee their future for other generations. You will also receive a personalised certificate - this makes for a unique gift!
