| 2010 The International Year of
Biodiversity
As 2010 is a year for action, so every
British native forestry tree we plant on your behalf sponsors a second tree that will be
planted by school pupils into community projects or school grounds.
Biodiversity short for biological diversity
is best summed up as the natural variety of life here on earth, encompassing all living
organisms and fundamentally affect all our lives at both work and home.
Biodiversity is the key factor in the
overall approach to climate change. Its detrimental decline over the last three decades
poses a greater risk to the environment than some of the other aspects of climate change
and increased carbon emissions. Biodiversity maintains our healthy and stable environment
through the interactions between all species and habitats providing us with vital natural
key elements such as clean air and water whist supplying the raw materials for technology
and business opportunities.
Through the C.F.O.P & Landscape-UK and
pro-activeness we can all interact to regenerate Biodiversity here in the UK thus creating
a healthier environment in our place of work and around the home.
Introducing Biodiversity in
business doesn't cost the earth!
Our Green Leaf - Points & Rewards is designed to encourage
companies to be more carbon conscious in product marketing whilst rewarding clients for
their business. A mature English Oak makes for the perfect corporate gift when planted at
the client’s headquarters!
For those who are accredited with ISO or
becoming accredited you may already be including the aspects of Biodiversity into
management plans and policies.
Where companies manage landholdings or
grounds we endorse utilising Green Leaf to redress the balance in local Biodiversity in a
way which is sensitive to the immediate surroundings by incorporating small areas of
priority habitats. This may include planting native trees and wild flowers into the
immediate landscape or installing raised planters and where there are no apparent areas
available, working with those in the local communities and schools.
Introduce a tree planting policy and
directly participate into the C.F.O.P & Landscape-UK project tailoring it to turnover,
booked orders, corporate tree dedications to clients etc.
Incorporate living green roofs into smoking
shelters, sheds or outbuildings.
Or simply install bird boxes / feeders to
attract the local wildlife habitat into your immediate area.
Introducing Biodiversity around
the home doesn't cost the earth!
Dedicate an area of ground that will
reintroduce the natural local wildlife with an array of landscape materials and plants
that enhances your immediate surroundings.
Incorporate Living Green Roofs into
extensions, garden sheds and summer houses.
Install composting bins and water buts to
recycle all the natural elements that are generally discarded.
For those burning wood fuel, take a look at
our wood fuel starter kits and adopt the ‘Grow and Burn’ process that removes Carbon
from the atmosphere.
Think
plants, in particular trees are the green lungs of our planet! that through the natural
process of "Photosynthesis" have the unparalleled ability to remove and retain
our carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere.
Biodiversity is
life! join with us in the
