Harworth Group plc’s Post

🌳 Pioneering Sustainability: Harworth's Second Woodland Plantation at Highthorn We’re excited to announce that Harworth Group has secured an England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) grant for our second woodland plantation at Highthorn in Morpeth, Northumberland. This 230-acre site will feature over 150,000 trees, including native broadleaf species, conifers, and scrub, delivering significant biodiversity and community benefits. Highlights of this project include: ✅ New public footpaths to enhance community access. ✅ Contribution to Harworth’s Net Zero Carbon (NZC) Pathway, supporting our ambition to achieve NZC status by 2030. ✅ Potential creation of 25,000 Pending Issuance Units (PIUs) through authentic carbon sequestration efforts. This builds on the success of our first plantation at Chevington North, where 110,000 trees were planted earlier this year. Together, these initiatives bring Harworth’s total number of trees planted in Northumberland to over 260,000. Alex Standerwick MRICS FAAV, Natural Capital Manager at Harworth Group, said: "The woodland plantation at Highthorn demonstrates our commitment to stewarding our land responsibly, enhancing biodiversity, and ensuring the carbon credits we generate deliver lasting social and environmental value. This project, along with Chevington North, showcases how we’re embedding sustainability into everything we do.” We’re proud to contribute to a greener future while delivering long-term benefits to local communities. 🌍✨ #Sustainability #NetZeroCarbon #Biodiversity #WoodlandCreation Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQ4KCiJJ
