using elephant grass for sustainable materials
to save our climate, trees and biodiversity
Using Elephant Grass to create a greener planet today!
Join usWHAT WE DO
Biodiversity
We have dedicated 5% of our land to biodiversity and your membership will help us build beautiful wildflower areas to replace the 97% of the wildflower meadows we have lost here in the UK since 1930. Wildflowers will be planted on your behalf and you can choose to receive wildflower seeds for your own garden.
Climate Change
Your membership will capture and store carbon from the atmosphere through the planting of elephant grass here in the UK. Elephant Grass reduces harmful greenhouse gases and helps slow the effects of climate change. This process also helps to improve soil health and support the rural economy.
Sustainability
We use harvested elephant grass for all projects, developing sustainable alternatives for industry. We work closely with valued partners such as the University of Exeter. We are focusing on construction and textiles, with your membership helping to aid these vital projects. Together, we can create a sustainable planet.
