Doubling tree cover in the parish over the next 10 years

Recent research suggests planting billions of trees across the world is the biggest and cheapest way to tackle the climate crisis. Wood is 50% carbon, so trees are a great carbon store, removing carbon from the atmosphere. Tree planting is not only a powerful climate change solution, it is also cheap, available now and everyone can get involved.

One of the village’s goals in the Neighbourhood Plan is for the parish to become carbon neutral by 2030. reLEAF is part of delivering this and is a joint project between Zero Carbon Haddenham and Haddenham Parish Council.

Achievements to date

Since 2020, we have planted approximately 230 trees and over 1500 hedging plants across Haddenham. We have assisted the Parish Council to get funding for trees in Woodways Park and facilitated the planning of street trees by Buckinghamshire Council.

Can you help? Here are some ways you can support us:

• Fundraising
• Identifying places where we can plant trees (see How to do a survey for reLEAF)
• Joining one of our tree planting events
• Looking after young trees by watering them
• Growing trees from seeds and cuttings or helping in our tree nursery
• Admin help – like taking minutes at our meetings or helping with communications and social media
• Engaging with our community groups, schools, residents, land owners and businesses
