Our aim is to ensure that every grant applicant is equipped to create sustainable woodlands for the future."

9Trees.org has set its self an ambitious goal: to plant between 9 and 9,000 trees in every county across the United Kingdom. It's a bold endeavour, but one that we passionately believe in. We understand that every site is unique, with its own needs, challenges, and possibilities.  We even offer a hands off approach if required, where we can just send Trees, Stakes and Guards.

9Trees are a not-for-profit organisation. Income is reinvested into training, education and management of the woodlands created through subscriptions.

Rather than selling carbon credits, 9Trees are creating carbon sinks in the form of professionally managed broadleaf woodlands for wildlife and people. Their philosophy is simple; Plant 9 trees per person, per year, to help balance one individual’s personal carbon footprint.

By planting the right trees in the right place, 9Trees also promote biodiversity and enhance habitat corridors. Each tree is geolocated, keeping subscribers up to date with their progress until maturity.

9Trees contines to create amazing shelterbelts, habitat corridors as well as nature reserves, this is all possible by forging relationships with landowners all over the UK, offering them a free service that will see the UK once more rich in biodiversity. 

9Trees also promotes jobs and skills within the local countryside and woodland sector by bringing communities together to create woodlands that benefit people and wildlife. 9Trees are for nature, wellbeing, rural Jobs and working to balance the UK’s carbon footprint.
