Dedicated to environmental stewardship, Time4Trees create new forests and environmental biodiversity in areas where they would otherwise not exist. Their sites not only enhance UK’s natural beauty, but work to improve air quality, and mitigate climate change through localised tree planting.

This project based in Dartford, is an excellent example of a piece of reformed and regenerated land. Positioned just next to the Dartford Crossing, the level of pollution in the area makes this an ultra-high emission zone and therefore an incredibly important location for tree planting. 

Working alongside local parish councils and accredited by Woodland carbon code, Time4Trees ensures responsible and sustainable management of their woodlands. This includes drone footage, and GPS tracking, ensuring tree health and longevity with a 10-year maintenance program.
