The Gift of a Tree
Zoey and Elizabeth have pledged to plant 1000 trees a year for the next four years, at their regenerative farm in Carmarthen. For each Gift A Tree, they will plant three young saplings on your behalf. Of these, they expect one not to survive, one to be thinned after ten years, and the last one to remain for it’s natural life.
Wherever possible, they grow trees on site from locally harvested seeds and cuttings. This ensures healthy saplings, ideally suited to the local climate and with a very low carbon footprint.
Native, broadleaf varieties have been chosen to create a new woodland area, excellent for supporting local wildlife and enhancing biodiversity on the site. This new era of planting adjoins an ancient woodland, helping to create much needed wildlife corridors.
Wildlife corridors in Carmarthen are designed to provide a safe passage for wildlife to move between isolated habitats. These corridors are essential for connecting fragmented landscapes, protecting biodiversity, and ensuring the survival of many different species. Wildlife corridors typically take the form of a network of interconnected habitats, such as forests, wetlands, rivers, and meadows. They are often located in areas where human activities, such as road construction, urbanization, or agriculture, have disrupted natural habitats and fragmented wildlife populations. By providing safe passage for wildlife, wildlife corridors help to mitigate the negative impacts of habitat fragmentation and increase the resiliency of ecosystems.
In Carmarthen, wildlife corridors are an integral part of efforts to promote sustainable land use and conservation of biodiversity, ensuring that wildlife can thrive in the face of development pressures and climate change. Carmarthen is lucky to be home to several endangered creatures such as the water vole, otter and red squirrel, who will all benefit long term from this breakthrough scheme.
