Caledonian Woodlands Project
You click, we plant
We understand that for a wide variety of reasons, you might not be able to spend a day planting trees with us. This is why we offer the opportunity for you to purchase trees from us which we will plant on your behalf.
Costs
1 tree - £10; 3 trees - £20; 5 trees - £30; 10 trees - £50
If you would like to plant more trees, or represent an organisation and would like to discuss larger-scale planting, please contact us so that we can tailor a package to your needs.
When you plant a tree with us, you will receive a named certificate, stating where your tree(s) is/are planted and what tree type(s) has/have been planted. When we plant your tree, you will receive an e-mail telling you that your tree has been planted, with a picture of the tree planting site attached.
Tree planting days
We invite you to join us on one of our tree planting days which take place from October through to March at a variety of woodlands, currently in Fife, the Scottish Borders and the Lothians. As well as being an effective way to offset CO2 and learn about how to reduce your environmental impact, our events offer a great way to meet new people, get out and about in the beautiful Scottish countryside and get fit. On top of all that, you will know exactly where your trees have been planted and so will be able to come back and visit them as they mature!
Costs
Each place on our tree planting event costs £15, which includes transport to and from Edinburgh, lunch/refreshments and lots of trees. You will also receive a named certificate saying that you devoted a day to help create new woodlands in Scotland. This will have a map of the site where you planted your trees.
We will be running a series of tree planting days from October 2008 to March 2009. Please visit our website again in September for full details of upcoming events, or contact us via the contact form if you would like to be e-mailed of upcoming events.
The trees
We will be planting trees to create new woodlands and to enhance existing woodlands in a number of locations throughout Scotland. We hope that because we will work at a number of different sites, you will be able to plant trees, or have trees planted, at a woodland which is close to where you live. We believe that keeping environmental projects local, encourages feelings of ownership and so helps to ensure the long-term protection and safety of these valuable resources.
All of the trees which we plant are native to Scotland, while seeds are locally sourced, to ensure that the genetic stock of the native woodlands is preserved. All of our trees are planted on sites that have been carefully chosen to ensure that they will be able to grow to full maturity, thus offsetting more carbon. Why not look at our The Trees section to find out more about some of the species which you will be helping to plant by purchasing trees from us to offset your CO2.
