Through our partnership with <a href="https://www.protect.earth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Protect Earth</a>, we help to support tree-planting on sites around the United Kingdom.
The Protect Earth team work with local landowners such as farmers, to help plant trees on their land &#8211; including as part of reforestation and restoration efforts on degraded land, or afforestation (planting new trees where previously there were none).

This model helps the specialist team at Protect Earth assist landowners with the mechanics of tree planting &#8211; from securing the permits and undertaking local site research, to the physical work of planting and monitoring the trees. This allows the landowners to focus on their main income sources.
Protect Earth also buy degraded farmland to reforest themselves.

The advantages of increasing tree cover in the United Kingdom are many: from removing carbon from the atmosphere, to reducing the risk of flooding during heavy downpours, and enhancing air quality.
Protecting the planet for future generations doesn&#8217;t happen in a vacuum. Protect Earth fosters strong relationships with local people, environmental organisations, housing developers, local authorities, and the landowners themselves to plant trees responsibly, and to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
As well as sourcing land and planting trees, Protect Earth also assist with resources and education, project management and ongoing support for the forests planted. Whilst our trees planted around the UK are still new, over time they will help green the UK and will begin reducing carbon in the atmosphere to help tackle climate change.

The world’s 1.9 billion acres of temperate forests are a net-carbon sink. According to the World Resources Institute, more than 1.4 billion additional acres are candidates for restoration—either large-scale, closed forest or mixed mosaics of forests, more sparsely growing trees, and land uses such as agriculture. With restoration comes additional carbon sequestration.
&nbsp;
While temperate forests are not threatened by the same large-scale deforestation that afflicts the tropics, they continue to be fragmented by development. They also are experiencing hotter and more frequent droughts, longer heat waves, and more severe wildfires, as well as worsening insect and pathogen outbreaks. These disturbances can push temperate forests beyond their capacity for resilience.

At Howard Court, we are planting a shelterbelt of native British trees common to the area, which will run along the western border of the farm.

For a long time Pantpurlais has mainly been home to grazing sheep. The long-term plan here is to turn the pasture land into a biodiverse woodland, with meadows, a wet woodland, and areas focused on helping pollinators like bees and butterflies.
