Connecting you with the Best British Wholesale Christmas Tree Suppliers
Naturally Beautiful British Christmas Trees Christmas tree plantations form an important part of our rural landscape and contribute not only to its connectivity but the overall biodiversity of arable areas. By buying British grown Christmas trees you are supporting not only local businesses but our native wildlife and eco-systems. The importance of Christmas tree plantations to both birds and mammals was highlighted by a recent biodiversity survey commissioned by the BCTGA.The research, carried out by industry experts, showed some fascinating results on the breadth and scope of native wildlife numbers and species found in Christmas Tree plantations. Encouragingly this included a number of species which are under threat. Red Listed bird species – the highest conservation concern – were recorded nesting and foraging on the plantations, while they were also favoured by threatened mammals including the native red squirrel, bats, and harvest mice. Christmas tree plantations are used by songbird and migratory bird populations for shelter and food sources, all are supported by a healthy balance of invertebrate species. With the focus very much on our environmental impact, buying a real Christmas tree, bought locally not only has a low carbon footprint but during the 8-10 years it has taken to grow will have acted as a carbon sink, absorbing CO2, and releasing oxygen. A wholly sustainable crop, real Christmas trees are planted on a cycle and allowed to mature, not felled from pre-existing forests. Once harvested, each tree is replaced by another seedling with up to 10 trees planted for every average size tree grown.As a natural product they are fully recyclable with many BCTGA members, town councils and charities across the country offering collection and recycling services. A British grown real Christmas tree means you can be confident the product you are buying is sustainable and environmentally friendly as well as supporting local producers by investing in their business.
