In Autumn 2007 we started a new tree planting campaign which drastically increased the number of trees planted and allowed us to plant them a little closer in our home city of Salford.

With the help of the local council ranger teams we now distribute the trees over many different
parks and schools within Salford where they are not only benefiting the environment but improve the look and green spaces within communities.

This has also meant that school children and other local community groups can get involved with the actual planting of the trees. We were also able to get more trees planted so in April 2008 we further developed the scheme so that we now plant a tree for every order placed with no minimum spend required.

Where possible we try to attend the tree planting days especially at schools, its great
fun joining in with the kids.

The most common types of trees we plant are...
Rowan
Hazel
Alder
Wild Cherry

In National tree week 26 November - 7 December 2008 we had 818 trees planted
throughout the schools and parks.
In total we have planted and dedicated around 1,500 trees in the local area.

A typical fully grown tree will sequester 40kg/co2 per year (100 grams / 4 ounces per day).
