Tobermore commits to planting up to 10,000 trees per year.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In another stride towards a more sustainable future<\/a>, Tobermore has partnered with Scottish Woodlands to fulfil our ambition of planting up to 10,000 trees per year at Lough Fea quarry.<\/p>\n

Responsible manufacturing and protecting the environment are a core part of the company\u2019s philosophy, and a key part of this is the restoration of land at the quarry. By restoring old gravel areas at Lough Fea, Tobermore seeks to help decarbonise the environment as part of our Carbon Net Zero strategy.<\/p>\n

Adding a land strip with a new layer of top soil, Tobermore carefully\u00a0 selected trees that sequester carbon with expert assistance from our partners at Scottish Woodlands.<\/a>\u00a0The company has initially planted 2,970 trees over the 2.28ha area, comprising Alders, Scots Pines, Sessile Oaks, Rowans, and Wild Cherry trees. These trees will not only help safeguard the environment, they will help enhance the natural beauty of Lough Fea\u2019s surroundings.<\/p>\n

In a few short weeks, staff at the quarry were pleased to report that the new trees were thriving and had already grown 100mm. Land restoration and protecting the environment are priorities, not afterthoughts at Tobermore.<\/p>\n
