Marks & Spencer
With the help of Forest Carbon Marks & Spencer plc are offsetting all of the carbon dioxide emissions from home deliveries of furniture for the three years from 2006. The project involves the planting of native woodland in Dumfriesshire, on the Queensberry Estate, and in Northumberland, on the College Valley estate. Click on a photo for further information. Visitors are welcome.

The four sites at Queensberry cover 9.25 hectares and planting includes oak, ash, alder, rowan and willow. The woodlands are 'permanent' - not planted for future felling - and will in time become a forest carbon reservoir, reaching a steady state of carbon storage after years of absorption as the forests grow.
The three sites at College Valley cover nearly 30 hectares and include the planting of oak, birch, rowan and aspen.
