In November, Enbecom’s contributions to Ecologi supported crucial projects and the planting of trees across the globe, including reforestation efforts in the UK. Ecologi’s reforestation partners are restoring native ecosystems throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. By working closely with local communities, they are helping to rejuvenate biodiversity in one of Europe’s most nature-depleted areas.
Planting trees in suitable locations brings numerous benefits. Trees help to reduce flooding, provide shade during heatwaves, act as windbreaks, and retain moisture in increasingly arid environments. They improve soil health, reduce erosion, and store carbon, supporting human life as well as native wildlife. Healthy ecosystems also provide essential services such as clean air and water, alongside spaces for recreation and cultural connection.
The Future Forest Company focuses on planting native broadleaf trees, avoiding monocultures to create rich habitats for wildlife. Their biodiversity restoration efforts include wetland and peatland rehabilitation and safeguarding Scotland’s rainforest. To date, over 1 million trees have been planted, with over a quarter funded by Ecologi customers. These efforts are aiding the return of wildlife, with regular surveys conducted to monitor species recovery.
One notable project is Dumyat, a 480-hectare estate in Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire, which serves as a model for sustainable land management through woodland creation and habitat restoration. Over 340,000 trees have already been planted, with additional wetland, meadow, and pond development enhancing biodiversity. Surveys ensure that tree species are carefully matched to areas where they can thrive, while archaeological and ecological features are preserved.
Dumyat supports a diverse range of wildlife, including Heath spotted-orchids, Common rockrose, Red kites, and the rare Sticky catchfly flower. Conservation efforts are also underway to protect and increase the populations of endangered species like the Northern brown argus butterfly and Red squirrels. Volunteers, including Stirling University students, have transformed degraded grasslands into wildflower-rich habitats that support pollinators.
The site also fosters community engagement, with improved accessibility encouraging visitors and providing outdoor educational opportunities for people of all ages.
The Future Forest Company’s projects showcase the transformative power of reforestation, blending environmental restoration with community and educational benefits. Together, we can build a greener future.
