Premier will plant 1000 trees for each year of its five-year association with The Woodland Trust

 

To celebrate a five-year association with The Woodland Trust, Premier Paper Group aims to plant 5000 trees on its third successive planting action day. 

‘Our Carbon Capture programme has gone from strength to strength over the last five years with over 380 customers now fully engaged with the scheme, with 100% of the revenue […] going directly to the Woodland Trust,’ said Dave Jones, Premier’s marketing manager.

Over the past year customers who participated and engaged in Premier’s Carbon Capture scheme have helped to plant over 55,000 trees, which has captured 11,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Staff and customers will plant trees such as hawthorn, silver birch, wild cherry, dog rose and crab apple during the event on 24 November at the Woodland Trust-owned Heartwood Forest, Herts, which is set to become the UK’s largest continuous new native woodland.
