Moor Trees

Here at WM Guitars we're proud to say that we support Moor Trees, a local tree planting and woodland preserving charity based in South Brent, Devon. Around 1 mile away from our lovely Dartmoor store! This charity focuses on replanting the local flora in and around Dartmoor. As we sell products made from wood we really want to be able to give back to replanting the wood we take. We're proud to say that this is our first step in doing so! By supporting us your also in-turn supporting Moor Tree's ambition to replant Dartmoor & Devon.

With your support you are helping to provide 2 nursery beds of soil funded by us - this will be the planting of over 132 saplings, and in turn will offset 66 tonnes of CO2!

Everyone mucking in!

Local Focus

Not only do Moor Trees plant only native broadleaf species the also run seed collecting days.
They collect all the seed they plant from local and native species.

The seeds need to be germinated, sprouted and maintained through this entire process until sapling. Doing this process means that whatever tree they plant they know it won't shock our local ecosphere and won't only help us recover more trees but also help our local wildlife.

Our ecosystem is a balancing act of all things and Moor Trees are within the few tree planting charities that are fully aware and build their entire mission around the balance.
