Supporting Native Broadleaves

Supporting Native Broadleaves

A range of predominantly native broadleaf planting schemes across the UK. This basket is for you if you want to protect and enhance nature in the UK, and don’t need to purchase carbon to do it. It is an excellent option for corporate social responsibility (CSR) or personal carbon footprint investments.

Project highlights

Projects in this basket will be changed periodically as the schemes reach maximum potential. If you set up a subscription, you will support a rolling portfolio of projects that fit the criteria of this basket. 

Current basket composition:

No carbon is transacted if you sponsor this project however, most of the projects are backed by the Woodland Carbon Code. Scroll down to project details to learn more.

Additional Benefits

Diversified income for host

Hosts, often farmers, have diversified their portfolio through these projects, bringing in income from previously unproductive land.
A person in outdoor clothing is seen closing a wooden gate on a rural hillside, ensuring public access to green space. The area is surrounded by grassy terrain, tall wooden fence posts, and wire fencing.

Public access to green spaces

Gates and paths make these projects accessible to the public, improving access to green spaces. This is proven to positively impact mental health and well-being.

Biodiversity uplift

These projects will increase the amount, and variety, of flora and fauna species in the area.
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.
Aerial view of woodland creation project improving water quality, showcasing natural vegetation and a meandering stream in a restoring landscape.

Improved water quality

Trees can intercept runoff from other land uses that could be potentially harmful to the river system such as fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, animal waste and silt.
A dense forest with tall, thin trees and sparse undergrowth, illuminated by sunlight, exemplifies the practice of sustainable timber planting.

Sustainable source of timber

Part of this woodland was developed to supply sustainable timber to the local economy.

Habitat corridors and linkage

This project links habitats previously separated by productive land or land less hospitable to wildlife.

More about the projects in this basket

Selcoth Burn will transform upland sheep grazing land into a woodland habitat for black grouse, red squirrel and pine marten. 

Creagan Loisgte will yield a mixture of firewood and timber, helping to diversify the landowner’s business model and increase the UK’s supply of homegrown hardwoods.

Sarah's Wood will establish a new woodland adjacent to an existing one, expanding habitats and creating habitat corridors. 

Hopecarton Burn will provide biodiversity benefits, natural flood mitigation, recreational space for the local community, as well as a source of sustainable timber.

Whitton Wood connects two fragmented ancient Oakwoods, providing a habitat for rare birds whilst preserving historically significant monuments.

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.
