Going Underground: How Fungi Could Enhance Our Forests by Corin Jack, Our Woodland Carbon Administrator
While we tend to think about how well trees are doing above ground on our sites, it is easy to overlook what is happening underground when it comes to tree planting and the carbon cycle in general. In fact, it is largely what happens below the surface that can determine the success of our work and the viability of our woodlands looking to the future.

Tree Shelters: Our research into plastic-free alternatives
Tree guards, also known as tree shelters, are a common and effective method of preventing damage to new saplings, allowing the trees to grow in safety and become properly established woodland. Historically the problem with tree guards has been that they are made from plastic, which as we all know, doesn’t biodegrade and is not environmentally friendly. However, very recently, non-plastic alternatives have become commercially available.

Case Study: Greenhouse Communication's Commitment to Nature-Based Carbon Projects
The first point of action must always be to reduce emissions as much as possible. However, nature-based carbon projects can be a useful tool in helping to mitigate a business’s residual emissions. Through the support of partners like Greenhouse Communications, who are investing in our award-winning woodland creation and peatland restoration carbon projects, we are able to continue to fund critical restoration projects.
