Our partnership with Borders Forest Trust helps plant native trees for the sole purpose of habitat creation. These trees will never be felled. They will be left to complete their natural life cycle.
About Borders Forest Trust
Borders Forest Trust is a charitable organisation working to restore the rich tapestry of native woodlands and wild places in the south of Scotland.
Formed in 1996, the Trust was established to enable the development of a range of integrated environmental, social and economic projects that would contribute towards the restoration of the area’s native woodland heritage. Learn more.
Our Plant A Tree Scheme
In the winter of 2019/2020 we started our Plant A Tree scheme. For every tonne of briquettes we sell, we plant one native tree in the UK. Whether you buy one pack or one pallet, every purchase counts towards our total. We do this in partnership with The Borders Forest Trust. They plant areas of native woodland in the Scottish Borders.
In 2020, the Trust planted 2,107 trees purchased by us, at a total cost of £5,267.50. These trees have been planted at the Talla and Gameshope site.
Two pounds fifty pence per tree planted is fabulous value for enhancing the environment. We are delighted to work with the the Trust on this planting programme. We look forward to playing our part in re-wilding the Borders hills again in 2021.
