wcclogo270_150Planting new woodlands under the UK's Woodland Carbon Code ...

Forest Carbon leads the way in voluntary woodland carbon capture in the UK. Through the planting of 3,600,000 new trees since 2006 our clients’ projects are removing over 750,000 tonnes of CO2 from the nation’s air.
 
The quality of our schemes is assured by the UK government’s Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) which certifies our projects in important areas like biodiversity, ecological impact, ‘additionality’, risk management and carbon capture measurement.

Compensating for your unavoidable environmental impact by sponsoring a new woodland is rewarding. Clients usually come back for more having discovered that tree-planting is pleasant, surprisingly inexpensive and good for business. Follow our news on Facebook, check out our woodland location map and see what trees we’ve planted.

Back for more...  In March 2013 BWOC committed to three further new woodlands, bringing them to 7 in total and taking them past the 100,000 trees mark (well past it). Fuel distributor and fuel-card operator BWOC are capturing their own operational emissions and those of customers.

Carbon footprint calculator

We have created an easy to use carbon footprint calculator to enable anyone to calculate their own footprint using information they already have in the home or business - for example vehicle mileage, or energy consumption shown on bills. The calculator also shows what it would cost to balance those emissions using Woodland Carbon Code certified UK trees (in many cases this will be considerably less than thought).

The calculator - a simple spreadsheet - is available for download here. It's free, doesn't require any details from those wanting to use it, and it can be saved to a computer for use again in the future.

Woodland Carbon Code Success

Twenty-three months after the launching of the UK Woodland Carbon Code Forest Carbon continues to lead the way in its use as the UK’s audit mechanism for woodland carbon projects. Woodlands registered with the Code to date will be responsible for the capture of more than 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 in this country, and our partners have contributed over half this total. To date there are 37 projects validated nationally, 35 of them developed by Forest Carbon. We have also received the first ever group validation - the mechanism designed to allow the cost-effective auditing of groups of smaller woodlands.
