Thank you to Charlotte Elton for mentioning us in this recent piece. There is much work to be done to improve the reputation of carbon projects an ensure that money invested has the impact it is intended to. euronews.com/green/2023/09/…

Very exciting to be included by The Telegraph in this article for growing Giant Sequoias in the UK to protect the species and capture vast amounts of carbon in these magnificent trees! telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink…

The BBC comes to chat to us about The Great Reserve and our plan to plant 100,000 of these magnificent trees in the UK to protect the species (on the IUCN Endangered Species Red List) and capture maximum carbon.

Featured on BBC One Morning Live on the 8th December at 9.30am.

Amazing to see this direct descendant of Stagg Tree, believed to be over 3000 years old and the fifth largest tree on Earth, growing healthily as part of The Great Reserve at our Brecon site in Wales. #thegreatreserve #giantsequoia

Giant Sequoias are one of our most powerful allies in the fight against climate change - and they need our help! #climateaction #redwoods #giantsequoia #planttrees #trees #nature

We're planting 100,000 Giant Sequoias here in the UK to help protect the future of the species. 10% of the magnificent old growth Sequoias in the USA are being lost annually to the effects of climate change. Now is the time to act thegreatreserve.org #climatechange ##nature

A stunning Giant Sequoia tree within the John Ackers sequoia grove near Welshpool - owned and looked after by the Royal Forestry Society. This Giant Sequoia tree was planted in c.1853! #redwood #tree #sequoia #nature #forest

Not California! This is a Redwood forest in the U.K. - a mix of coastal redwoods and giant sequoia planted from 1850 onwards. The John Ackers grove in Leighton. A true spectacle and perfect evidence of how well these wonderful yet endangered trees grow on our shores. #nature

Want to do something HUGE for the environment - come and plant a Giant Sequoia at one of our U.K. groves. Just one of these incredible trees grows big enough to capture a person’s lifetime carbon footprint! They’re also endangered and need our help! #nature #trees #climateaction

How fast do Giant Sequoias grow in the UK 🌲 In 2024 the Royal Society released a peer reviewed paper on the subject. Key learnings (somewhat unsurprisingly) – more rain and more sunshine make for faster growing trees! #giantsequoia #thegreatreserve #redwoods #trees #nature

Sometimes when we’ve been away from our Sequoias for a short while we go back to check in on them and they can be hard to find in the overgrowth - but as they get bigger it’s gets easier - most of the time! #findmytree #treedrama #nature #thegreatreserve #forest

A day of community, connection, and climate impact — proving that when we come together with purpose, the results can truly stand tall. Grateful for the roots we’ve planted together, and all the growth still ahead. #TheGreatReserve #TreePlanting #ClimateAction #ReforestTheFuture

Another incredible day in the forest — this time planting a new grove of Giant Sequoias with @south_shore_uk . #TheGreatReserve #SouthShoreProductions #PlantATree #GiantSequoias #ReforestTheFuture #SustainabilityInAction

Interview with Forest - now returing to extend their Giant Sequoia grove in 2025! This team took it to a new level, riding one of their iconic e-bikes (yes the ones you see around town for ride hire) all the way from London to the Welsh hills. #thegreatreserve #nature

Planted in 1863. Fallen in 1936. And still growing. Six branches became thriving sequoias, all connected to the same roots. Nature’s resilience is something special 🌍💚 #TheGreatReserve #Sequoia #Nature

Small now. 🌱 But in 50 years, this sequoia could stand over 30 metres tall, a carbon-storing giant supporting wildlife and helping protect our climate for generations. Big futures start small. 🌍 #TheGreatReserve #OneLifeOneTree #Sequoia

🌱 Giant Sequoias being planted for the future. These trees grow for centuries to reach their full scale and can live for thousands of years, storing carbon and supporting wildlife as they grow. It is steady work, but it matters. Get involved and plant for the long term

From a cone smaller than your palm grows a tree that can live 3,000+ years 🌲 Planting more today means stronger forests tomorrow. Join us and plant for the future. #TheGreatReserve #TreePlanting #ClimateAction
