We support ...
Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust
We are commited to the pleasure and knowledge reading books gives each one of us, young and old. We are likewise committed to making our business as sustainable and green as we can. So part of the sale of each book we donate to Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust to help with tree planting in North Yorkshire, Together for Trees.
Trees for people
Trees do amazing things for our minds and our bodies. Together for Trees aims to reach disadvantaged people who live with poverty, social isolation, disabilities or mental health problems to give them the chance to experience and enjoy our woodlands.
Trees for the environment
Planting trees is one of the best things we can do to help combat climate change. Yet as much as 80% of the world’s forests have been destroyed or irreparably degraded and our remaining woodlands are under threat from disease and poor management. Your support can help care for our existing woodlands and plant new trees for the future.
Trees for wildlife
Trees are hugely valuable as a habitat for wildlife. One single oak tree can support up to 284 species of insects. We need to increase native broadleaf cover in the Yorkshire Dales - which is currently only 2.7% - to protect endangered species of wildlife like the red squirrel, dormouse and cuckoo.
By helping with tree planting, we give back to the environment for future generations to enjoy.
