Infinity Christmas Trees, one of the UK’s leading Christmas tree growers, is planning a major programme aimed at increasing the population of indigenous broadleaf trees.
The initiative, ‘The Infinity Forest’, aims to plant broad leaf trees as part of their annual crop planting of Christmas trees. Infinity currently sells c100,000 Christmas trees, the plan is to utilise land on their five main farms across the UK to create new native woodland forests.
Managing director, David Brown said, “We are acutely sensitive to sustainability issues, and we already plant two new Christmas trees to replace each we sell. It takes around eight years to grow the average Christmas tree and with c800,000 growing in our fields they offer sound environmental benefits.
However, we wanted to go a step further, so the idea is to plant native species such as Oak, Field Maple and Beech creating ‘The Infinity Forest’.
We like to think of ourselves as experts in growing Christmas trees, but we will be taking advice from Woodland Heritage, who we are pleased to be sponsoring. We very much support their wonderful work in developing the resources and skills necessary for producing quality wood products made of timber from healthy well managed trees grown and processed in the UK. And, in turn, benefiting British wildlife.”
The company will be providing updates on the progress of ‘The Infinity Forest’ on their website, infinitychristmastrees.co.uk
