Carbon Offset
Climate change is coming for us - But there are some amazing natural allies in the fight against CO2 and once the world becomes more aware there could be a significant uplift in sequestered CO2.
Our goal is to set up a plantation of trees that will remove CO2 from the air and the soil, but these are not just any trees, these are Paulownia trees and they are magical almost mythical. These trees are the fastest growing trees in the world and they are hardy in drought or frost.
These trees remove up to 10 x the CO2 of any plant on the planet, you can harvest them every 5 years and they will grow again immediately faster, bigger and with leaves that are 1 metre across. Paulownia trees are a genuine hardwood renown for its quality and strength, it is called 'The Aluminium of Timber'.
We aim to plant 50 acres of Paulownia trees so we can make our own positive impact on climate change but we need your help to raise the money. If we are successful then farmers all over the UK will follow.
Carbon Offset
Starting tomorrow I am going to video a step by step guide on how to grow a Paulownia plantation of 1 acre, how to get it validated for carbon credits, how to easily grow Paulownia trees from seed, show everything from germination to growth into large trees.
First seeds are showing nice green shoots, looking to plant out in May this will be a 'live' project documenting everything including the actual sale of the carbon credits. What will the carbon credits be worth, what will validation approve in relation to the volume of carbon units, ultimately what will the value be of the hardwood when the trees are coppiced. Subscribe and tune into the progress over the weeks, months and years.
Jeremy Clarkson should follow this so he could really make some good money and remove his farms carbon footprint.
