We minimise use of all resources, from turning the computer off after we have answered your emails to using milk from cows living a few fields away for our picnics. Our flapjack is baked locally and all the tea, coffee and squash we use is fairly traded and/or organic.
We’re members of the Car Free Scheme and offer a 5% discount for any tree climbers that travel to the Goodleaf field on public transport, pedal power or by foot. We can give you the information you need on cycle paths, foot paths and bus routes.
We actively support Gift to Nature and Trees for Cities through your donations and by donating a percentage of our annual turnover to them.
Gift to Nature are responsible for a variety of conservation sites around the Isle of Wight. It is their mission to not only care for the Island’s wildlife but encourage everyone to get out and explore our fantastic countryside.
Trees for Cities is an independent charity that works with local communities on tree-planting and landscaping projects. Trees for Cities aims to tackle global warming, create social cohesion and beautify our cities through measures such as tree planting and community education and training initiatives in urban areas of greatest need.
Trees for Cities place a special emphasis on the involvement of local people and especially target disadvantaged people, such as those from ethnic minorities and the younger generation, who often suffer barriers to participation and are disengaged from developments. Through projects in cities within the UK and internationally Trees for Cities challenges the way people think and strives to influence behaviour in positive ways.
