500 trees!
500 trees!
That’s how many trees have been funded in native restoration projects across Queenstown and Wellington over the last eight months, through our partnership with CarbonInvoice.
Our collaboration with CarbonInvoice allows us to analyse our accounts and understand what our carbon footprint is. We then use this information to work out how many trees we would need to plant to offset our emissions.
We let our clients know how many trees have been planted through our work with them on a monthly basis (at no additional cost to them).
Two specific groups that our team have volunteered for have directly benefitted from this process:
We feel that this is the perfect model for Rationale – we are all passionate about the outdoors and the team regularly take part in native planting and restoration projects in our communities. It's great that these projects use trees provided through CarbonInvoice, so it’s a bit of a circular economy for us.
500 trees, while a great milestone, is still just a drop in the bucket, so there’s a lot more work to do.
The partnership with CarbonInvoice is the latest step in a number of initiatives we have been undertaking in the environmental restoration space. This has included supporting remote pest trapping operations in the Mt Aspiring National Park, sponsoring and helping out with restoration work in the Arrowtown backcountry and team planting days in and around Wanaka.
