Project highlights

About the project

Lowther’s innovative woodland vision features strategically spaced compartments of native broadleaf trees, creating a mosaic of habitats that enhance biodiversity and deliver meaningful environmental benefits. In addition to the woodland, expansive wildflower meadows and purpose-built wildlife structures will support local ecosystems and further enrich the landscape

Project stats

  • Trees planted: 47,029 trees planted 
  • TCO2 sequestration (expected over lifetime): 13,866
  • Planted: Autumn 2020

Credit Type

Pending Issuance Units (PIUs) - carbon neutrality and net zero claims cannot be made until these credits convert to verified Woodland Carbon Units (WCUs). Please consult our FAQs for more information.

FAQs

Who is behind the Carbon Club? How do I know if I can trust it?

The Carbon Club is powered by Forest Carbon, one of the UK’s most established and experienced woodland and peatland project developers. We’ve been around since before there was even a standard in place to regulate the sale of carbon credits in the UK (so we helped to develop one). You can learn more about our experience and story here.

How do you determine which tree species are best suited to an ecosystem and its environmental conditions?

Our project development team works closely with local forest managers and land agents across the UK and Ireland. This allows us to use local knowledge to design projects that are best fit for a specific location, delivering the most impact within the existing ecosystem, in line with potential future climate scenarios and without perverse incentives.

In addition, all projects closely follow UK government forestry guidance.
