UNITED KINGDOM
Over the years, the United Kingdom has undergone significant deforestation. In order to allocate your donation efficiently, we are currently focused on restoring forests across these lands.
With your help, we will:
- Invite educational opportunities by engaging local schools
- Create publicly accessible woodlands for community spaces
- Increase forest connectivity for native biodiversity
OVERVIEW
The United Kingdom used to have glorious forest coverage, but changes in land use have caused extensive deforestation. In addition to being critical to protecting the climate, forests also build community. These reforestation projects will be highly engaging, community-led initiatives to create educational opportunities, volunteer planting events, and public spaces so that everyone, including the most marginalized communities, can enjoy the native flora and fauna of the United Kingdom.
As tree planting costs are higher in the United Kingdom, we have aligned our costs to ensure we're creating an impact. We plant one tree for every $2 USD donated.
IMPACT
These more than one million trees will make a significant climate impact, sequestering carbon and creating climate resilience by reducing flooding and the effects of pollution. This project supports increased access to public woodland, especially for communities in need, with opportunities for community engagement and improved public health. Organizations will be able to integrate the project with school education to get children out in nature.
