Over the past 15 years, Forest Carbon has supported the creation of 220 new woodlands, planting 10.3 million trees, which will sequester 2.1 million tonnes of CO2e over the project lifecycle.
We thought you might be interested to see what tree species we've been planting during this time. The figures below are as at February 2021, and by the end of this planting season we are set to reach more than 10,000,000 trees!
