The launch of the ‘TreeWilder’ monthly subscription service offers a simple way for consumers to achieve a worthy New Year's resolution to support a sustainable planet.
TreeWilder is the brainchild of Richard Clarke, a Zoologist and Founder of Highland Carbon Ltd. Through Highland Carbon, Clarke has built a reputation for creating exceptional carbon offsetting projects that restore vast forests and wetlands in the wilds of Scotland, in addition to sourcing quality projects overseas. Highland Carbon is a new member of the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce. Its clients in the Aberdeen area include Peterson, First Integrated Solutions, K R Group, QHSE Aberdeen and WellConnection.
Whereas Highland Carbon supports businesses to achieve Net Zero, TreeWilder has been launched to serve the general public. People can sign-up to a starter package from TreeWilder for as little as £4 per month - about the price of a coffee on the high street - to offset their household by three tonnes of CO2 per annum. Funding will enable newly created forests that feature a diverse range of native tree species to replicate the way our forests would have appeared thousands of years ago.
Clarke says: “It is essential to offset through a partner that has high ethical standards. Some projects offered by competitors do not achieve native forest restoration, rather, they entail tree planting on arable farmland which has low biodiversity impacts and competes with food security. Even worse, they may be selling reduced timber removal credits. TreeWilder’s projects are pucker and wilder! They achieve impacts for ecosystems. That’s what we are all about.”
TreeWilder’s projects achieve exceptional habitat restoration, meaningful tropical forest protection and impactful renewable energy initiatives. All projects are fully traceable. They comply with recognised frameworks and count towards the objectives set out in the United Nations Paris Agreement.
