April 20th ’08 - Treeflights set up innovative community offset project

    With support from the Welsh Assembly’s Gold Star initiative, Treeflights have set up a new community partnership linking Lampeter in mid-Wales with Bore in Kenya. The basis of the scheme is to encourage businesses, individuals and schools in Lampeter to take responsibility for their unavoidable emissions by subsidising the planting of trees in an area of Kenya that is at the sharp end of climate change subject to widespread deforestation.

Big Issue 11th - November 07 Out on a Limb

    Carbon offsets have had a very hard time in the British press over the last year. We are really happy that the Big Issue has featured us in a positive light here. Whilst there are clearly many issues with planting trees to absorb carbon, at Treeflights we are trying to find ways to do this ethically because we believe that trees can play a critical part in our challenge to fight climate change.

July 15th ’07 - Launch of Unique Rainforest Treeflights Service

   Recent research from Ken Caldiera of the U.S. Carnegie Institute indicates that the best place to plant trees to reduce global warming is in the tropics. We can announce that from today we are taking orders to plant rainforest trees such as Mahogany and Cedar in the Peruvian Amazon. We are working with Ecotribal and Ashaninka treeplanters to offer our Treeflight offset service in the tropical rainforest for the first time. In the last few years illegal logging has started to impact on the territory of this precious indigenous culture and we are proud to be in partnership with the Ashaninka to offer this unique carbon offset.

People who are releasing CO2 and want to do something about it can now choose from 9 rainforest species which will gradually absorb their emissions whilst protecting the tremendous and essential bio-diversity of the Amazon and at the same time help to support an endangered tribal culture. Planting will commence at the end of the current dry season during October 2007 on an initial one hectare planting site near the village of Tinkareni. This village is located on the Rio Ene in the central Peruvian Amazon. For more details: Peru Info
