Snaizeholme: a big, bold boost for Northern nature

An update on our work to restore a resilient landscape to help fight the effects of climate change, lock away carbon, improve water quality and alleviate flooding. A donation from FSC Certificate holder and global hygiene and health company, Essity, is supporting research that will help measure, verify and deepen our understanding of the impacts of nature-based solutions on water quality and flood management. Snaizeholme has recently been audited to allow it to be included under our FSC Forest Management certificate. It will also be the first site for which we will add FSC Verified Impact, helping forest managers and owners to quantify the impacts of their actions on ecosystem services. Over the course of the next 20 years or more, a team of world-leading scientists from the University of York and the University of Leeds will brave the site’s harsh weather conditions to collect detailed data. The trees, fencing and planting at Snaizeholme have been funded through the White Rose Forest and their Trees for Climate programme, part of the government’s Nature for Climate Fund. The Snaizeholme Estate was acquired by us thanks to the generosity of our incredible individual supporters, charitable trusts and corporate partners.
