TTC is delighted to announce that we have partnered with trusted climate impact partner, Carma, to plant 1,000 trees each year over the next three years as part of our Social Values contracting commitment to Avon & Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, and Wiltshire police forces. What makes Carma really stand out as a unique partner, is that all trees planted in the UK are done so by the Green Task Force (Armed Forces Covenant Affiliated), which helps find employment for Veterans and overcome PTSD issues using Nature Based Therapy and focussing on post traumatic growth.
Earlier this month, the Carma team was joined by 10 veterans from the Woodland Warrior Programme CIC, an organisation supported by the Green Task Force, to plant 1,000 hedgerow plants and trees in the Chew Valley. Located just south of Bristol Airport, the Woodland Warrior Programme was founded to support former service personnel in overcoming war-related challenges by fostering connections with nature and each other through engaging in outdoor activities. The location chosen for the planting is a site owned by veteran Nick Goldsmith, and is part of the Woodland Warrior Programme CIC. .
Planting included 300 each of Hawthorns, Blackthorns, and Hazels, 100 Field Maples, 100 Spindles, and 100 Viburnum Lantana. The day was not only a meaningful time in nature but also an opportunity to plant a 20-foot memorial oak, which will serve as a focal point on the land for years to come.
