We’re proud to have supported the National Trust in creating the 23-acre Minnowburn woodland within the Lagan Valley Regional Park. By securing private sector funding from an early adopter in the transport services sector, we were able to support the planting of a mix of native species, enhancing biodiversity, capturing carbon, and offering recreation and heritage value.

Verified under the Woodland Carbon Code, Minnowburn demonstrates the careful stewardship needed to build resilient ecosystems. When Ash trees succumbed to dieback disease, they were thoughtfully replaced with locally sourced oak, ensuring the woodland’s future.

This project is a powerful example of how collaboration can restore nature and tackle the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Winnowburn is the first – and so far, only – verified Woodland Carbon Code project in Northern Ireland, the least wooded part of the UK

We're rooting for this . Soils deserve more attention as the fundamental building blocks of terrestrial ecosystems. Here is a snapshot of our work in exploring the application of the voluntary market to drive the improvement of soil health in the UK.

Various forms of soil carbon codes and credits are in the process of being developed and set up. There is ongoing debate as to how much carbon soil can sequester and at what rates.

Fitting some new toys in a planting project in the Scottish Borders.

These bioacoustics boxes listen for bird song to collect data on what bird species are present in this project area. The plan is to collect this data annually to see how birds respond to this growing woodland habitat year on year.

Forest Carbon team visit to volunteer with Borders Forest Trust at Talla & Gameshope. We were kept busy removing fencing to open up a newly planted hillside. Came across a resplendent moth along the way.

If you or your company is looking for volunteering opportunities, it's always a great day out! https://buff.ly/3bqqOHW

In recognition of check out our blog on . UK carbon markets and standards are actively operating to drive the restoration of peatlands and fund the planting of new woodlands in the UK, however channelling carbon finance into marine restoration is a missing link which can deliver high-impact nature-based climate solutions.

We are actively seeking opportunities to assist coastal and marine restoration projects in developing their case for carbon finance.
