Recently, James Jones invested in a number of new planting schemes to combine the benefits of regenerating commercial timber plantations with ecological afforestation outcomes. 

Its new award-winning planting scheme at Rig of Airie in the south of Scotland, has improved the natural capital of previously low-grade grazing land, and, via the UK Woodland Carbon Code, will deliver in excess of 20,000 tonnes of carbon offsets for the international offset market.

This commercial partnership demonstrates the benefits of how shared values and practical action can contribute to SDG 15: Sustainable Use of the World’s Forests.
