Melba Swintex at Thrimby Bank


The woodland creation projects at Lowther represent the conversion of high intensity arable land into sustainable forestry - providing significant local habitat, flooding and water quality benefits alongside carbon capture. Melba Swintex has supported the woodland at Thrimby Bank in recognition of its anticipated fleet emissions over the period August 2019 to December 2021.
