Air
Through photosynthesis, growing trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. That everyday process is part of the connection between forests and the atmosphere.

Supporting forests, with an appreciation for the materials we work with every day.
Our recorded contributions
355 trees supported.
Eight places around the world.
From British Columbia to Kenya, we’ve contributed to tree-planting projects supporting the restoration of forests. Those contributions are part of our story as a British picture frame manufacturer.
This is a record of historical contributions made since January 2017, rather than a live planting counter or a donation with each order.

Why trees?
Much more than
a source of wood.
Forests are living places. Their value reaches from the air above the canopy to the soil beneath our feet, and to the people and wildlife that spend time there.
Protecting existing woodland matters alongside restoring damaged forests. Tree planting is a starting point; healthy forests develop over time.
Climate
Trees, roots and forest soils store carbon. Protecting existing forests and restoring damaged ones helps preserve this important role.
Wildlife
A woodland is a network of habitats. Trees, undergrowth and forest soils provide places for plants, animals and other organisms to live.
Health & wellbeing
Woodlands also give people places to walk, pause and spend time in nature. Their value is something we can experience as well as measure.

The wider picture
Thought for the materials.
Care beyond the finished frame.
Our environmental efforts also include the offcuts, incoming packaging and everyday materials in our factory. See what we collect for recycling, and how to give your own frame packaging its next use.
