Discover how the landowner of Racecourse Farm is using the England Woodland Creation Offer to replant 23,015 native trees and reconnect fragmented habitats, all while offsetting carbon.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the English countryside, Racecourse Farm has a rich history that stretches back generations. Now, the current landowner is embarking on a mission to restore the property's natural heritage, reviving his grandfather's vision of a thriving woodland ecosystem.
Through the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO), the landowner has undertaken an ambitious project, planting a remarkable 23,015 native trees across the farm's expansive acreage. This initiative not only reconnects fragmented habitats, but also plays a crucial role in offsetting carbon emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change.
