Planting a tree in someone’s name represents the perfect gift for difficult to buy friends and relatives, an easy win for anyone with a passion for the natural world and the ultimate solution for those you wish to send some festive cheer to but who live far away.
Buying an evergreen tree gift is straightforward. No traipsing around the shops looking for inspiration, no pesky wrapping up and no ridiculously overpriced postage costs. Simply order a gift voucher via the charity Creating Nature’s Corridors and they will email you a gift card to send to your loved one. Creating Nature’s Corridors aims to plant over 10,000 trees/hedges across the UK every year to restore the country’s green landscapes, encourage biodiversity and carbon capture whilst also creating improved living environments for local communities.
Even if you’ve got your Christmas shopping all wrapped up, you can play a part in helping to offset the six-eight million Christmas trees that are bought – and then discarded – during the holiday season by joining the #Plantiback campaign. Remember to make a £5 donation to Creating Nature’s Corridors when you purchase your tree and the funds will go towards replanting the least wooded areas of the country.
Whilst buying a Christmas tree is still regarded as the right choice from an environmental perspective (as long as you buy from a local supplier), Creating Nature’s Corridors wants to use the biggest ‘tree day’ of the year to serve as a reminder of the important role we can all play in addressing the climate change agenda.
