Everyone knows trees are important for us and future generations.

Trees pump out clean air, absorb toxins, create habitats for wildlife, prevent flooding and generally enrich our lives. But when trees start to get stressed or decline due to disease, the mentality is often geared towards chopping them down for safety reasons rather than treating and saving them.

When it comes to significant ancient trees, getting the chainsaws out is the last thing anyone wants. That’s why we started Tree Rescue; so we could save veteran trees and demonstrate in a big way that deep-soil enriched biochar treatment is more effective, cheaper and a less disruptive route than simply chopping them down and replanting. This is all about behaviour change.
