Their Rural Weeks Programme is a week-long residential course that gives participants hands-on exposure, expert guidance, and real career pathways into meaningful outdoor work. 93% of course attendees feel more prepared for employment after their courses.
Deforestation contributes approximately 12-20% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This happens because forests are also known as 'carbon sinks' as they absorb carbon, but when trees are cut down or burned, this carbon is released back into the atmosphere.
Scientific studies estimate that nature-based solutions like reforestation and afforestation could deliver 30-50% of the global carbon reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
Mangrove trees play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems. Their thick root systems help prevent erosion and protect against flooding, while also providing shelter for marine life and supporting local fisheries. All while absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
The UK has one of the lowest forest coverage rates in Europe. Between 2001 and 2021, the UK lost over 105,000 hectares of tree cover, representing a 6.9% decrease. Planting trees helps reverse this trend by restoring ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, improving soil and water quality, and capturing carbon to mitigate climate change.
