Green Facts

The cost of the average Christmas lunch is estimated at £14 per person but the ingredients could have flown 84,612 miles producing the same amount of greenhouse gas from planes as 50,000 three-bedroom semis in a year. In 2004, the UK sent 744 million Christmas cards; if they were all recycled, it would have saved 248,000 trees. In 2005, only 82 million cards were recycled but it diverted 1,630 tonnes of rubbish from landfill sites. In 2001 only 1.2 million of the 7.5 million Christmas tress bought were recycled; the rest created enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall in London three times

Woodland Friends

Woodland Friends is dedicated to recreating native woodland in the UK by turning redundant agricultural land into new, thriving woodland. You can help us by sponsoring the planting of a new tree. By helping us to create new woodland, you can reduce your net carbon footprint and provide a natural environment for people and wildlife to enjoy and thrive in.

Our woodland creation projects are managed for the benefit of the local community, creating natural habitats where people can visit to stroll, contemplate, learn and observe.

Corporate Schemes
We welcome support from businesses wanting to offset their commercial activities by planting trees. Please contact us to discuss the options available.

Woodland Facts
Britain is one of the least wooded countries in Europe with less than 2% covered in native ancient woodland.

Woodland is the natural environment for the majority of British plants and animals.

Each tree we plant saves about 200Kg of C02 (most conservative estimate).

The UK is committed to an 80% reduction in C02 emissions by 2050
