Projects and conservation
Why native trees?
Native species have evolved with local soils, rainfall and wildlife, so they generally support more local biodiversity and need less intervention once established.
What happens after planting?
Young plants need protection, watering and monitoring. Our approach includes care and record-keeping after planting.
Do you publish results?
Yes, but only figures that can be supported by records. Some headline figures are still pending verification; see Our Impact.
