Perhaps you are conscious of the impact of flights you’ve taken. Maybe you drive long distances, or heat your home with fossil fuels. The best way we can address this is, of course, to make some changes to our lifestyle, and to reduce our use of fossil fuels. But that can be very difficult, and sometimes these things are beyond our control.
If you wish to offset your carbon footprint, the first step is to estimate its size. To help, here some approximate figures, in tonnes of carbon dioxide, emitted by the following activities:

We will plant trees for you! All you need to do is decide how many tonnes of carbon dioxide you would like to offset.

We believe that one of the best possible ways to compensate for some or all of your unavoidable personal carbon footprint, is through planting trees.
At Make it Wild We are absolutely transparent about our trees – they will be planted in Summerbridge, near Harrogate, North Yorkshire. From the aerial photograph we will send you, you will know exactly where they are. You can be sure that your trees will be well looked after, in Bank Woods, or Dowgill Grange our protected nature reserves. We have a great record for tree planting, and woodland creation – we planted our 50,000th tree in 2021.
