Jon's Wood

Jon's Wood

The vision for Jon's Wood is to create a new native woodland, planting species of Oak, Alder and Birch. The 10.17 hectares of new woodland will support the local community and improve habitat connectivity in the surrounding area.

Project highlights

About the project

Jon's Wood consists of a gross area of 10.17ha, with 9.45ha net planting. The vision is to create a new native woodland that supports local habitats and improves connectivity in the surrounding area. In addition to these ecological benefits, the woodland will also bind the soil beneath its canopy, helping to prevent erosion during heavy rain events, which are predicted to become more frequent as the climate warms during the coming decades.

Project stats

  • Trees planted: 23,625 trees planted 
  • TCO2 sequestration (expected over lifetime): 7,271
  • Planted: Summer 2019

Credit Type

Pending Issuance Units (PIUs) - carbon neutrality and net zero claims cannot be made until these credits convert to verified Woodland (WCUs)

Additional Benefits

Biodiversity uplift

These projects will increase the amount, and variety, of flora and fauna species in the area.

Habitat corridors and linkage

This project links habitats previously separated by productive land or land less hospitable to wildlife.
Peatland restoration project showcasing healthy wetlands, vital for flood mitigation, biodiversity enhancement, and carbon sequestration.

Flood mitigation

By intercepting, slowing, and/or absorbing surface and groundwater, trees help to prevent soil erosion. Healthy peat is believed to have greater soil water storage capacity, slowing the release of stored water.

FAQs

How much should I contribute?
The amount you invest is up to you. It can be as little as supporting one tree, or an entire peatland! 

Businesses should aim for an accurate baseline of emissions (this allows targets to be set and measured). However, we recognise this can be a complex process. Therefore, for individuals and smaller businesses, we provide some guidance on what your approximate footprint might be, so you can start supporting nature as you work up to baselining.

Using nature-based investments to allow BAU (or life as usual) is not our recommended approach. Behaviour change and decarbonisation are essential too.
