Wiltshire Bespoke and The Old Cooperage have agreed to commit to reforestation projects in Africa. We have committed to planting trees instead of our profits.
We have partnered up with Ripple Africa.
Ripple Africa’s overriding aim is to empower communities so they themselves can achieve a sustainable future – we strongly believe that the local people can be the solution to many of the challenges they face. We are not just another charity in Africa, everything Ripple Africa does is in response to the local communities’ needs. By enabling them, great things can happen. Ripple Africa’s belief is “Providing a hand UP and not a hand out,” and that philosophy has been central to the charity’s ideology for over two decades.

To plant a tree within our sustainable timber project is 25p per tree. For every tree planted we protect three within our forest conservation project. We believe it is just as important to protect existing trees as well as plant new ones – and the new ones provide a solution to deforestation as well as improving livelihoods. We work with 1,800 Forest Conservation Committee members to protect 340 sq.km of forest.

To plant a fruit tree is £1. We work with 100 Community Clubs to grow citrus, papaya, mango, guava, tamarind, avocado and local fruit varieties. Not only does this improve the local diet for those growing fruits but they can sell any surplus at market to earn a living.
