Forest Fund has one goal, to end the destruction of our remaining natural forests.

Until science comes up with something really clever to help climate change, the best thing we can do is plant trees.

About

For the environment, trees, and profit

There is no pathway to Net Zero that does not involve planting trees."

RH Lord Zac Goldsmith

House of Lords

Forest Fund has one objective:
To end the destruction of the world’s natural forests. We do this by helping businesses grow trees, thus eliminating the pressure on an already overstretched resource.

We help restore the lost balance between people, planet, and profit by putting nature back at the centre of our economy and encouraging the transition to 100% sustainable, net carbon-negative building materials.

Trees are a wonderful resource that, if grown correctly, can meet the world’s fast-growing demand for timber while reducing atmospheric carbon and improving biodiversity, all while generating economic returns. Win-win-win!

We should recognise the huge potential of new forests and invest in sustainable reforestation.”

It's a fact that our growing population will need to use more wood, and that could be a good thing. Wood is an extraordinary renewable resource. Taking it from well-managed sources benefits the forest and the planet. But on their own, natural forests can't provide all the wood we need. So we have to farm trees, just like we do other crops, and create a new generation of plantations.”

Mere Plantations are adding to the world's tree cover. Last year they planted 900,000 which over the lifetime of the tree will absorb 10 tons of carbon each.
