GreenTheUK

Rose Uniacke is working in partnership with GreenTheUK and the Royal Forestry Society (RFS) to plant new climate resilient trees across UK woodlands. This project focuses on excellence in woodland management, working with foresters and aborists to ensure we are planting for the future with knowledge being shared from one generation to another.

Planting for the future means nurturing skills that will protect woodlands from pests, diseases and improve resilience to climate change. 41% of England’s woodlands are unmanaged or under-managed, which poses threats to the health and sustainability of woodlands. Rose Uniacke is helping to support tree planting rooted in knowledge of UK woodlands, looked after by experts.

The Committee on Climate Change recommends woodland cover is increased to a minimum of 17% by 2050, requiring 30,000 to 50,000 hectares a year of woodland creation. This will store carbon, increase biodiversity, flood control and create a low-carbon route to increasing the resilience of the rural economy.

This past planting season, from October 2024 to April 2025, the UK saw 5 named storms according to the Met Office, highlighting the need to act each planting season to protect and restore UK woodlands.

In that period, Rose Uniacke supported the planting of 11,200 trees, 4,000 more than we had in previous years (2021-2024), bringing our total planted so far to 32,800 mixed-species climate resilient trees planted across the UK. This is part of our commitment to plant 100,000 trees by 2031 - marking 10 years since our first planting initiative.
