Description
Our Carbon Offsetting Monthly Subscription schemes make it very easy for you:
Discounted compared to our regular price
Our Carbon Offsetting Subscriptions offer discounts on our regular prices. For example, with our Copse Subscription you will offset 2 Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide per month, for £27.50 (incl VAT). At our regular prices this would cost £28.80.
Continuous Offsetting, hassle-free
You simply pay monthly by Direct Debit, and each year we will send you a certificate including a drone photograph of your trees for the following twelve months.
Spread the cost – no nasty surprise bills
You can take better control of your finances. Our subscriptions start at £7.50 per month, which is only £1.73 per week!
Our woodland creation record
We have a great track record for tree planting and woodland creation, having planted over 80,000 trees to date, in our protected nature reserves across North Yorkshire and at our UK partner sites. We started planting trees in 2011, and have created many acres of wonderful young woodlands, so you can be assured we know what we’re doing!
Locations
New for 2024: We can now offer you a choice of locations for your trees. You can choose from North Yorkshire, Norfolk or The Peak District. We will make sure your first year’s trees are in the location of your choice.
If you indicate ‘No Preference’ we will choose the location for you.
In future years, we will try our best to ensure all your trees are in the same nature reserve. Sometimes this will not be possible, for example if we have completed our woodland creation there. In this case we will get in touch at the anniversary, to discuss your options for locations.
Supporting Biodiversity
Our woodlands are planted primarily to support biodiversity – we intend them to become the ancient woodlands of the future. They will never be cut down for timber, but will keep growing for many decades to come. Your subscription will enable you to become a long term partner in our work to support nature, as well as offsetting your carbon footprint.
Choose your Carbon Offsetting Monthly Subscription
Before considering carbon offsetting, it is really important to calculate and make efforts to reduce your carbon footprint. You can use our simple carbon calculator here, or we can help you with more complex calculations, or recommend a consultant to help you.
Choose which level of subscription is right for you:
Plan | Price per Month | Tonnes of CO2 you commit to offset per month | Tonnes of CO2 you commit to offset per year | Trees Planted per year |
Twin | £7.50 | 0.5 | 6 | 2 |
Grove | £13.95 | 1.0 | 12 | 4 |
Copse | £27.50 | 2.0 | 24 | 7 |
Orchard | £67.50 | 5.0 | 60 | 17 |
Woodland | £335.00 | 25.0 | 300 | 82 |
Bespoke | your choice | your choice |
