Over the past 15 years, Forest Carbon has supported the creation of 275 new woodlands, planting 13 million trees, which will sequester 3 million tonnes of CO2e over the project lifecycle. The peatland restoration projects our partners have supported cover 2000 hectares of land in the UK, avoiding 300,000 tonnes CO2e emissions over the projects' lifetime.
