Whether you think carbon offsetting is an easy let-off or a planet saving solution, the end result is usually the planting of trees. And a UK company are offering community woodlands and nature reserves the opportunity to receive free trees as part of that process. On offer are UK provenance saplings of native species, in a mix which can be tailored to existing planting plans (but sadly for community orchards, can't include fruit trees). The company prefer to work with organisations who can guarantee that the land is protected and unlikely to succomb to development. They also promote the sites where possible, so there may be an opportunity for extra publicity. If you're interested in finding out more, follow this link.
