We recently visited our UK tree-planting partner Protect Earth at their Burnsall site near Leeds 🌍
The Protect Earth team were helping to secure the riverbank by planting all sorts of native trees that thrive in these wet conditions and do a good job of holding the soil together. This included a great tree mixture of Alder, Willow, with plenty of Dogwood, Quickthorn, Rowan, Bird Cherry, and Oak 💚
At the time of filming, Protect Earth planted 520 trees on this 1 acre of riverbank, and it is projected that these trees will absorb over 200 tonnes of carbon over their lifetimes 💪
This is just one of the many Protect Earth projects, focusing on reforesting with landowners around the UK - which is hugely important considering that only 13% of the UK is forested compared to an EU average of 38%.
If you are based in the UK, you can fund UK tree-planting with your Ecologi subscription!
Protect Earth is a registered charity in England and Wales, whose purpose is simple 'we aim to plant and help people plant, as many trees as possible in the UK to help mitigate the climate crisis'.
