Choose a forest to buy your Balance Units from, and select where to plant your Extra Trees—engage your team and customers with planting days.

Where do you want to create Balance?

Imagine the world we could live in if more businesses took the lead on funding biodiverse forests and creating sustainable jobs. Choose a forest in the UK or overseas to buy Balance Units from, then plant Extra Trees near you and your customers. Involve your team with hands-on planting days and turning your sustainability efforts into a story your customers can see and share.

UK forests

Support UK forests and restore vital habitats across the country. In the Scottish Highlands, native Scots pines offer shelter to the elusive wildcat, while in Lancashire, otters and red squirrels thrive in our protected woodlands. Your contribution enhances biodiversity and creates local employment, from ecotourism to local honey production, benefiting both nature and communities.


In the heart of the Scottish Highlands, a vibrant ecosystem is thriving at the Loch Ness Afforestation Project. This 92-hectare landscape, strategically located between two Sites of Special Scientific Interest, serves as a vital migration corridor for a rich array of species. With neighbouring rewinding projects flourishing, the benefits to the local environment are immense.

Become a part of restoring the natural world and enhancing and preserving Scotland\’s wild beauty.

The project champions biodiversity. Caledonian Scots pines and quaking aspen intermingle with other native species, creating a welcoming habitat for red and Black Grouse, Deer, and even potentially the elusive iconic Scottish Wildcat. This flourishing forest doesn’t just support wildlife – it also creates employment for local people, boosting the economy alongside the climate and biodiversity gains.

As the forest grows, it provides 19,500 tCO2e equivalent in Balance Units, allowing you to directly contribute to a greener future. Each tree planted helps restore the balance of this breathtaking Highland ecosystem.



International
forests

From Asia to South America, Balance works with forest projects that restore habitats, create sustainable livelihoods for local communities and help fight climate change. As we grow we’ll be working with more forests around the world so you can choose one that aligns with your international operations or market and make an impact that transcends borders.


Nestled in the heart of La Mosquitia, Honduras, one of the most economically challenged regions renowned for its unparalleled biodiversity, the Paskaia Project stands as a testament to resilience and environmental stewardship. This area, known for its lush tropical ecosystem, has faced significant challenges over the years, including exploitation for logging—especially of the Caribbean pine, the forest’s predominant species—and damage from wildfires, which have impeded the natural growth of its flora.

Despite these challenges, the Paskaia Project marks a turning point in the tale of La Mosquitia’s rainforest. Through concerted efforts encompassing rural development, forestation management, and extensive collaboration, the rainforest is witnessing a remarkable revival. At the core of the project is an ambitious goal: to restore the degraded Savannah lands through regenerative reforestation techniques and to implement preventative measures against future wildfires, spearheaded by the community itself.

Local communities are the linchpin of the Paskaia Project, embracing sustainable land management practices that not only protect but also rejuvenate the rainforest. These practices are integral to the project\’s vision, fostering a harmonious relationship between the people and their environment, and ensuring the forest\’s resilience against future adversities.

Moreover, the project paves the way for innovative new Balance initiatives, creating a symbiotic relationship between large overseas companies and the local landowners. These initiatives not only contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts but also support the economic development of the local communities, empowering them as guardians of their verdant homeland.

The Paskaia Project is more than a conservation effort; it’s a movement towards ecological and community resilience. By restoring the forest cover and empowering local communities as stewards of their environment, the project promises a greener, more sustainable future for La Mosquitia. Join us in this journey of transformation, where every tree planted is a step closer to a restored, flourishing ecosystem.

Put spades in the ground: grow your business’s legacy

For every Balance Unit you purchase, we plant an extra tree, expanding your impact and increasing biodiversity. This goes beyond carbon removal; it’s about hands-on engagement and bringing your stakeholders into the process. By hosting a planting day and offering your team the chance to put spades in the ground, these extra trees make your company’s commitment tangible.

A Thriving Ecosystem for Yorkshire

The White Rose Forest isn’t just a collection of trees – it’s a growing network of woodlands transforming the landscape of North and West Yorkshire. This community-driven initiative strategically plants millions of trees in both urban and rural areas, creating a vibrant, resilient, and diverse natural environment.

Wildlife’s Haven

The White Rose Forest provides essential habitats for countless species. Birdsong fills the air, pollinators thrive on native wildflowers, and woodlands offer shelter to a rich array of mammals.

Investing in People and Place

The project generates local employment opportunities, from tree planting to woodland management, contributing to a thriving, greener economy. The White Rose Forest also offers a unique resource – outdoor classrooms where communities can connect with nature, promoting health, well-being, and environmental stewardship.

A Legacy for Yorkshire

The White Rose Forest is about creating a sustainable future. These woodlands combat climate change, manage flood risks, and provide cleaner air for generations to come. It’s about a shared commitment to a Yorkshire where nature and people flourish side-by-side.
