Carbon offsetting for SME, Corporate and Charity Organisations

In order to cost-effectively contribute to your business’s sustainability objectives, consider investing in our UK tree planting project. National Canopy offers Hornbeam trees, which can assist in carbon offsetting thus increasing the sustainability of your business.

Not only is the Hornbeam Tree aesthetically pleasing, the tree is extremely hardy and can grow in almost any soil and weather, making it a very safe option to invest into and guaranteeing long-term security for your carbon offsetting investment strategy.

Their dense wood results in maximum carbon capture for the size-to-weight ratio, as well as their rapid growth rate.

_{What we can provide for your tree planting initiative}

With National Canopy, you have the choice of purchasing either an individual tree or a selection of trees which will offset carbon from the atmosphere. These can either be managed yourself, or you can leave it in our hands to plant, hold and manage the investment for you through our Tree Management and Holding Service (TMHS).

Certain corporations may believe planting a handful of trees is a straightforward procedure, but this is only the beginning of the job. To guarantee success, tree planting projects require long-term administration. For this purpose, we extend our Tree Management and Holding Service, allowing you to leave your trees in our care until such a time as you have the required land to do so yourself. Alternatively, we can deliver them to you when it is most convenient. The third option made available to you is the opportunity to plant your trees in our developing woodlands. Please ask us for more details.

By taking part in our UK tree planting initiative, you are taking action to protect the environment. Invest now and be the proud owner of one of Britain’s strongest trees – the renowned Hornbeam Tree – Carpinus Betulus!

About the Hornbeam tree

The Hornbeam Tree is an vital part of our British landscape. It is a strong, medium-to-large tree with a broad leaf appearance and boasts stunning green catkins in late Spring through to Autumn whilst it exhibits oval, serrated leaves in Summer. The unique drooping flowers, combined with its tough winged nuts, make it a real eye-catching feature. As the seasons change, the Hornbeam Tree offers an array of beautiful Autumn colours and even holds onto its leaves in Autumn and Winter, thereby providing cover and protection all year round. In Autumn, the catkins turn to fruit, often attracting an abundance of wildlife. Its dense wood and year-round foliage make it a perfect habitat.

Hornbeams are:

• hardy, strong, resilient and native
• officially named Carpinus Betulus, in Latin, which means “Ironwood”
