Who we work with

Local authorities

We are working with local authorities to help councils reduce their carbon emissions to net zero in line with government and global targets.

Our team is engaged with councillors, committees, officials and sustainability teams at various levels to provide our support and expertise in developing and progressing strategies that deliver meaningful and measurable change.

Councils have already committed to act. We will help them deliver and achieve their climate change and biodiversity goals.

From securing funds and lifting pressure on budgets, to involving communities, introducing eco education and creating sustainable working partnerships with business, we deliver full project management.

We enable organisations to address the challenge of climate change at speed with strategy, funding and expert delivery on the ground, ensuring partners retain full oversight and governance throughout the tree planting and ecological restoration process.

Working together creates jobs in support of the local economy, protects and encourages biodiversity, rewilding and large-scale land restoration, with natural benefits to the community in both a cost effective and accelerated timeframe.

Together, we make a difference.

Landowners

Diversification of land-use towards long term sustainable models is increasingly important for landowners, while focusing on large-scale ecological restoration projects is vital in creating opportunity to reduce climate emissions.

We assist them in finding and actioning investment that contributes to climate stabilisation and biodiversity restoration which helps them transition to a more carbon neutral or carbon positive land-use position.

Our world leading climate research also allows landowners to adapt their operations to mitigate and manage their impacts, ensuring they get the best results.

These offer long-term, consistent and dependable returns in a fluctuating world while also helping tackle climate change – the greatest challenge of our time.

This is a pivotal moment in how land is used, a change in emphasis at enhancing those areas of natural significance under stewardship of the few, adapting to help to protect the many.

Business

Business leaders have a legal, fiduciary and CSR requirement to mitigate their impacts on climate change.

Some progressive managers are already looking well ahead of any legislative frameworks or shareholder activity in the future that may impose action.

Put simply, they want to play their part too.

Our experts work with them to develop strategies and put in place action on the ground that have a measurable effect on carbon emissions, enabling businesses to quickly and effectively adapt as part of efforts to reduce their wider carbon footprints.

It simultaneously also meets triple bottom line accounting requirements and contributes to work protecting species and habitats, addressing the climate crisis and having a positive effect on local communities and their workforce.

Such partnerships allow certainty in planning for businesses to know they have a proven and costed medium to long-term solution for delivering their sustainability obligations.

Innovative, proven and flexible – the evolution of business is centred on the environment and the Green New Deal of which we are proud champions.

Communities and individuals

Individual and community-led action brings some of the most innovative and effective solutions to fighting change to the fore.

That is why we are committed to working with organisations and people to promote and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as habitat conservation that maximises biodiversity and the decarbonation of society, together.

Our expertise in restoring damaged habitats, protecting soils to reverse the impairment and loss of essential ecosystem functions that are key to carbon storage in natural habitats, knows no borders.

There are many programmes worthy of support and some yet to be fulfilled. We are inspired by the likes of Greta Thunberg and the Shark Ambassadors, the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and Scottish Environmental Link, the RSPB, Scottish Wildlife Trust and so many others.

We enjoy seeing up close the brilliant work of Trees for Life, The Borders Forest Trust, Cairngorms Connect and others in the sector. The efforts of Forest and Bird, Zealandia and the wonderful conservationists of DOC in New Zealand is remarkable.

Our guiding principle is to partner, support and work with people in the common goal of protecting our environment.
