Antalis has planted trees in new woodland at Lowther Estate in Cumbria as part of its carbon offsetting programme.
Antalis has supported Lowther Forest for several years, and its work with Forest Carbon across three projects has resulted in 16,488 trees planted, 4,645 tonnes of CO2 captured and 13 hectares of ecosystem restored.
Lowther Forest is a total of 240 hectares and is comprised of 70% conifer trees and 30% mixed broadleaves. Over the years, Lowther Estate’s programme has funded the conversion of high intensity arable land into sustainable forestry. The project is not only capturing carbon but benefitting local wildlife by linking existing blocks of estate forestry to create a unique woodland corridor that joins the southern part of the property with important pasture woodlands.
Antalis customers were given a tour of the forest to see how their carbon offsetting activity through the company has supported the development, and to learn of the ongoing management and protection of the woodland, subsequently delivering positive climate action.
