Timber Neutral wooed visitors with a promise to replant a tree for every 10m2 of hardwood purchased.
The Leicestershire-based company’s “Buy-one-Get-one-Tree” scheme sees customers receive certificates to show how many trees are being planted in the National Forest on their behalf.
Major clients are invited to Timber Neutral corporate dates at the National Forest to help plant their trees.
The company, which exhibited as Big Hardwoods at last year’s Ecobuild, is relaunching in the UK under the new name and logo.
It is also offering a consultancy service where it can calculate how many trees have been used in a development based on growth data and the types of wood. Trees are then replanted to offset the original wood used.
“We are talking to a lot of companies who are green oriented,” said the company’s joint managing director Matthew Roberts. “Replanting trees can never be a bad thing.”
Species displayed included plantation-grown lignum vitae, raintree and mango.
