We plated these fruit trees in March 2019. We planted apples, pears, mulberries, and walnuts. Urban planting is important for both removing air pollution and reconnecting inner city people with nature. If you happen to be in the capital, pop down to Perivale with a picnic and enjoy a Sapling and tonic amongst the trees.

This project is along the Ripple Greenway which is a new path for people on foot and bicycle, connecting communities with green spaces in Thames Ward.

The greenway links the Thames View with the Nature Reserve and the River Thames footpath. We planted an apple and pear orchard to contribute towards making the path a delight to walk down.

Another one of our projects in the Atlas mountains. These trees do so much more than sequester carbon. We plant fruit trees with rural communities who can harvest and sell the fruits to help stimulate local economies. 

One of our Moroccan projects planted in January 2020. These trees do so much more than sequester carbon. We plant fruit trees with rural communities who can harvest and sell the fruits to help stimulate local economies. 

This project was planted in January 2020. It is geared towards improving the soil quality and providing greater support for the river banks that you can see on the map. This in turn reduces erosion.

This was our first project in Bristol (the first of many!). We planted oaks, hawthorns, dogwood, and apple as part of a native woodland project. Of all of our projects, this one definitely has the best view!

This is one of our smaller projects. We planted 128 native trees in St Mary's park in Bristol, including Hazel, Dogwood, and Hawthorn.

This is a mixed native woodland down by the river avon. If you are ever in the area there are some beautiful walks, and you can enjoy a some sapling cocktails amongst the trees.

Similar to our Ripple Greenway project, these trees are geared towards enhancing local pathways. We planted them in a residential area which also helps with local air pollution.

This is another urban project we planted in March 2020. As with of all our projects around Bristol, we planted native trees with the goal of improving the aesthetic of the surrounding area and enhancing air quality. This project included hawthorn, hazel, and dogwood.

This was an extension of our Napier Miles project. We planted oaks, cherries, hollies, and apple as part of a native woodland project. Of all of our projects, this definitely has the best view! If you are in the area you have to go and check this one out.

This project was towards the centre of Bristol in East Park. It is an urban area in need of some greenery so we planted apples, cherries, and hazel to improve the surrounding area and reduce air pollution.

This project was delayed due to Covid 19 but is being planted in November 2020. Check back here to find out what was planted!

In early 2020 the Sapling team returned to Morocco for two large planting projects. The first of which was Amsouzart where we planted 1500 olive, fig, and pomegranate trees. As usual with our Moroccan projects, the fruit trees are designed not only to absorb carbon but also to provide a harvest for the rural communities. Trees rock!

Agrzran was the second of our major Moroccan projects from 2020. We planted 1529 fruit trees including fig, olive, pomegranate, and argan in the Atlas mountains to improve soil health, absorb carbon, and provide a harvest for the rural communities. Let's drink to that!

October 2020. We planted a new woodland consisting of

363 native trees at Monkerton Ridgeline Park. The new

woodland will be publicly accessible and will serve the surrounding community as well as improve the wider landscape character, provide wildlife habitat, and contribute to the city's overall green infrastructure. Cheers to that!

These trees were planted on April 2020. As with all of our projects in Morocco, our trees have both an environmental and social goal. While the suck up carbon dioxide, the fruit trees also provide a crop for rural communities to harvest and sell. Below is a picture of one of the Argan trees we planted.

These trees were planted from January-February 2021. We teamed up with Fring Estate to plant 2500 oak trees to extend an already flourishing woodland.

We returned to where our tree planting all began - Eilean Shona. We planted 2500 trees to restore a native woodland home to a large number of birds, insects, and mammals. Tree species included hazel, crab apple, and chesnut.

Outside of the British planting season we look to work with the best of the best of tree planting projects around the world. For this project we planted 4000 trees using new technology that uses drones to plant trees much faster. This is vital step for projects around the world to be able to plant quickly enough to effectively tackle climate change.

We planted white spruce, black spruce, and jack pines, all native to the surrounding area.

We planted these trees in the March of the 2020/2021 planting season. Species included hazel, silver birch, wild cherry and rowan. Our projects in Scotland are very close to our heart as its where our journey began; in the cold winter rain and winds!

In October 2021 we hosted 150 our trade customers on a planting project in West Sussex. We planted a variety of native species (oak, silver birch, rowan, hazel, hawthorn, and wild cherry) on a farm with the goal of increasing biodiversity and enhancing soil health. Thanks to all of our customers who came to help and looking forward to many more in the future!

This was a really exciting project planted in October 2021. We worked with the super sustainable Raithwaite Hotel in Whitby to plant a forest garden which they could then use to supply the kitchen with fruit and herbs. We planted apples, mulberry, raspberries, strawberries, goji berries, and many more exciting fruits!

Outside of the British planting season we look for the best partners around the world to keep up with our tree planting. In 2021 we continued to work with the High Atlas Foundation to plant native trees that help stimulate rural economies. These trees were Almond and Olive trees that have very valuable crops!

We planted these tree in March 2023 as part of our 1 tree per cocktail promotion with Livelyhood pub group. The trees were planted at our tree planting festival in Kidlington, Oxfordshire. We planted oak, silver birch, hazel, willow, hawthorne, and a few other native species. The purpose of the project was to help combat flooding, improve biodiversity, sequester carbon, and improve the local walking routes.

We partner with Valley Fest every year to provide spirits for their wonderful music festival in Somerset. We have worked with the local Community Farm to plant trees as close as possible to the festival site so that the spirits drunk there directly benefit the surrounding area. We planted a native woodland of hazel, hawthorne, silver birch, and Oak. Looking forward to coming to the festival over the coming years and seeing them grow!

In a partnership with Ecologi, we are supporting projects in the Mau Forest in a bid to reverse the deforestation that has taken part over the past few decades to make space for damaging agricultural practices. Species include Umbrella tree and fig trees. This project also provides work for locals which stimulates the local economy.

We are very excited to have partnerered with Ecologi to replant mangrove forests in north western Madagascar. In recent years, vast areas of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and diminishing local people’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are also gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea. These mangrove forests are not only crucial carbon sinks, they also provide habitats for a wide range of marine species that live in the shallows, and provide vital coastal protection from floods and storms.

We have partnered with Ecologi to support forest garden projects in Uganda. The area surrounding mount Elgon is heavily degraded due to deforestation and over-cultivation. The relatively high population in the area puts a strain on the land, leaving it almost bare, due to degradation from animal grazing, tree-cutting for fuel wood, and heavy mono-cropping of specific crops like bananas and coffee. The degraded land has also led to deadly landslides in the area which pose an acute safety risk to the nearby populations.

This project involves the establishment of 400 Forest Gardens in the Mount Elgon region in Eastern Uganda. Each Forest Gardens is approximately one hectare each in size, and local farmers are supported and trained to establish and look after their Forest Gardens over a period of 4 years.

By the end of the 4-year programme, farmers have an established and protected Forest Garden which they can use to sustain their families and produce vital income.

Native species include the Drumstick tree and gliricidia.

We have partnered with Ecologi to support mangrove restoration in Mozambique. Historically home to vast mangrove estuaries and forests, Mozambique’s forests have been largely decimated and destroyed due to intensive tree-cutting for firewood and charcoal.

These mangrove forests are not only crucial carbon sinks, they also provide habitats for a wide range of marine species that live in the shallows, and provide vital coastal protection from floods and storms.

These trees were planted in Hampshire as part of an exciitng partnersip with Fortnum and Mason. We collected the waste citrus from their kitchen at 45 Jermyn Street and made a delicous waste fruit vodka that can be purchased in Fortnums. Pretty cool, eh? As always, every bottle plants a tree. We planted a diveres native orchard, which included species such as apple, pear, mulberry, hazel, raspberry, and blackcurrant. One day these fruits will be able to be used in our drinks and complete the full circle. Here's to the coolest sustainable partnership in town!

We partnered with one of our favourite customers to plant a native woodland on their land. The goal was to imporve the aeshetitcs of the area while sequestering carbon, increasing biodiversity, and improving soil health. Species included oak, rowan, hazel, silver birch, scotts pine, field maple, and western hemlock.

This year we have planted 563 trees in partership with the amazing Cocktail Society. These were planted in Hampshire and were part of a native woodland project which was geared towards improving soil health, sequestering carbon, and increasing biodiversity. Species included hazel, rowan, oak, silver birch, apple, pear, scotts pine, and field maple. Here's to many more Cocktail Society and trees!

At the end of 2023 we brought back our tree planting activities to Morocco in the Taroudant Province. As with all of our projects, the social benefits of the trees are just as important as the environmental benefits. We planted argan trees and carob trees, both of which can be harvested and the crop sold locally to stimulate the rural economy.

In October 2022 we took to the Mendip Hills with our partners at Liberation Pub Group. It was to celebrate the launch of a new sustainable cocktail menu that included Sapling Vodka and Gin. Cheers to that! We planted a native hedgrow which included holly, hawthorne, blackthorne, and hornbeam. 25 volunteers came down from the local area and made the planting a huge success!
