Treecover is our new not for profit project to help get more trees planted in the UK to tackle the climate emergency starting to impact on wildlife and the way we live now, like all our products we aim not to pass single use plastics on and we want to be able to get more trees planted without creating another problem. For decades plastic tree ties and plastic rabbit guards have been the only real option to support and defend newly planted trees.. things are changing. We are working with ezeetrees to get more trees protected with there unique guards, tested for years these guards mean plastic guards and ties which break down to microplastics are no longer needed.

The need is immediate to start planting millions of trees in the UK to offset the growing effects of this climate emergency. Treecover offers UK grown native trees, a plastic free tree guard and vitally, Mycorrhizal Fungi to bind the tree to the surrounding plants.

You can purchase or pledge a tree kit for only £5. You can give it as a gift or as something for yourself to plant. When you pledge a tree you can be assured that the tree will be planted in a school, controlled woodland setting or community space.
