31,357 trees planted through Green Paw Project — and counting.
After years of planning through Covid, then raising the funding and finally planting our first tree in March 2024, I’ve become increasingly passionate about regenerating damaged land, planting trees and creating space for biodiversity to return.
For me, it’s never just been about putting trees in the ground. It’s about what happens afterwards.
When land is restored properly, nature starts to return. Trees create habitat, improve soil, help retain water and provide food and shelter for insects, birds and wildlife. One tree on its own might not look like much, but thousands of trees planted across degraded land can help transform an entire ecosystem.
Through Green Paw Project, we’ve now planted 31,357 trees, with the aim of reaching 150,000 by 2030. I’m incredibly proud of that number, but the number itself isn’t really the point. The real goal is to regenerate as much damaged land as possible and leave something behind that will continue growing, developing and supporting life long after we’re gone.
We’ve spent generations looking at land in terms of what we can take from it. I’m much more interested in what happens when we start giving something back. Restore the soil, plant the trees, protect the habitat and give nature the opportunity to do what it does best.
Seeing degraded land begin to recover is what drives me. More trees, more wildlife, more biodiversity and more land being given the chance to come alive again.
31,357 trees is only the start.
150,000 by 2030 is the next target.
