For International Day of Charity, we’re sharing some photos from our recent conservation days at the John Muir Trust’s Glenlude site in the Scottish Borders.

Our team headed out to spend the day getting stuck into some hands-on conservation work - planting new trees and caring for those that are already growing.

We even got to see some of the trees we’d planted and looked after on previous visits now standing tall and well established. 🌱➡️🌳

We’re always proud to get involved in projects like this, and it’s great to see the impact of that work growing right in front of us.

Have you ever planted a tree? If so, is it still growing? 🌿
