The Acorn Project

When an acorn starts a movement!

15 years ago I was given the book, "The man who planted trees".

15 years on I started my own idea to plant acorns, and help grow better lives.

Each acorn is a connection to the future.

A future that is in our hands to make.

We're trying to encourage people to plant an (acorn) or oak tree and if you do we'll mark it on our All Gardening global map.

The oak is one of the best tree species for absorbing carbon, this is thanks to their large canopies, dense wood and long lifespans. The oak sequesters some 10,994 units of CO2 in its lifetime.

The oak, slow growing, familiar native tree valued for its timber is long-lived and excellent for attracting wildlife. Quercus robur is suitable for large gardens and forestry. Due to increasing environmental damage, it's more important than ever to plant this iconic tree.

The Acorn Project is gently edging its way around the planet, it's evolving as an idea.

If you'd like to plant an oak tree please order here.
