To mark the start of the new year, Mayden joined forces with Co-forest, a legal entity conceived by Bath-based digital technology agency, Storm Consultancy, to work towards our carbon offsetting efforts by planting 350 trees.
The Co-forest aim is to bring together people and organisations in the UK to plant their own forest legacy. In Bath and Bristol, you can pledge money to adopt a quarter, a half or a full acre of land. Consequently, this supports your carbon offsetting goals.
Helping to reduce our carbon footprint is something we are passionate about at Mayden. Furthermore, we have an in house going green group, set up and run completely by Mayden employees. This group aims to support local initiatives and leave the world in a better state than when we entered it. Therefore, this is why we were delighted to take part in this tree planting initiative. Alongside other volunteers, we hope to make our eco-friendly goals a reality.
Going green: Mayden’s tree planting team day out
On a particularly cold, wet and windy day, our Going Green team arrived at the plot of land which was to be the new home for 350 trees. The team were greeted by the lovely Wendy. They were then given a detailed introduction about the tree planting day ahead, over a cup of tea and biscuits.
The tree planting required lots of teamwork, something we value and strive towards in our flat management structure at Mayden. Each tree required a stake in the ground, a blanket to protect the roots and pegs to keep the blanket in place. Once roles were agreed the tree planting could begin!
“It felt really positive. We all loved the idea of leaving the world a greener place for our children and grandchildren. It felt like we were building something towards a better future.” - Going Green Group, Mayden.
Although the Going Green working group is run and maintained solely by Mayden employees, our directors support us by helping to find more opportunities like this one – with the aim to make the world a better place.
