Plant a Tree

The Carbon Offset Scotland project enables you to plant a tree that will be planted & grown at Balmuick in Central Scotland.

Carbon Offset Scotland uses the local knowledge and expertise of tree planting partners to assure the right trees are planted in the appropriate places. All trees are planted in reserves and managed woodland where they will live their natural lifespan and meet their biodiversity targets.

Each tree planted offsets your environmental impact by breathing in about 730 kg CO₂ emissions over its lifetime. It's estimated that the average person needs to save about 7,000kg of CO₂ per year. So planting just 10 trees each year is one strategy for achieving this. The trees also provide sustainable habitat for wildlife, and will enhance the natural landscape with native broad-leaved trees.

Have you thought about planting a tree as a unique gift for friends or family - maybe as an alternative wedding present, or a present for that person who has everything?

Choose from a monthly subscription plan, or make one-off purchases. And in return you will:

• Be offsetting carbon emissions and providing wildlife habitats

• Receive a fantastic certificate stating your name and the number of trees planted. This will be sent to your specified email address (very eco-friendly!)
