Trees, Science, and People
In May 2021, The Carbon Community launched a ground-breaking field trial designed to maximise carbon drawdown in trees and soil. The study involves 25,600 trees including native broadleaf and conifer and two nature-based solutions, soil microbiome inoculation and basalt addition.
The study is designed and run in partnership with leading scientists from ETH Zürich Crowther Lab; Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation at the University of Sheffield; The Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, Imperial College London; and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Over 100 citizen scientists have also joined us to learn new techniques, measure the trees and learn more about the environment.
That’s our unique combination of trees, science & people.
