Claire McLean, founder of Realise HR in Carlisle, is planning to grow more than her HR consultancy and recruitment business this year. Claire and her team are planning to plant a forest for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
“It’s something we’ve been thinking of for a while,” says Claire “and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is the perfect time to launch our new initiative.”
“We all know we should be doing more to look after the planet, we’re on a journey to net zero and as a business we emit relatively low carbon emissions as our team are fortunate to be able to work remotely – but we know we can always do more.”
Right across the country, people are being invited to ‘Plant a Tree for the Jubilee’ and Realise HR have decided to go a step further and partner with Kingmoor Park, who have identified a section of land, to plant a forest.
“We are planning to kick this project off on the 30th June when we will break soil and plant our very first tree” says Claire, “and then later in the year, during tree planting season, we will plant a tree for every new client we have supported with our multi-disciplinary HR consultancy and recruitment services.”
“We are really excited to start planting and seeing the Realise Forest take root, as we will not only be inviting the business community to plant trees and support their net zero ambitions, but children from Stanwix School and Carlisle Youth Zone will also be helping us to plant trees and wildflowers.”
Claire and her team are planning an annual tree planting event so the Realise Forest will continue to grow and help tackle climate change, while keeping them rooted within the local community.
Realise HR have partnered with Kingmoor Park, The LEP and The Woodland Trust to bring this project to life and they are planning a launch webinar on August 30th so that businesses and people interested in offsetting their carbon emissions can find out more about this community project and get involved, including taking part in their “donate a tree” initiative. Neil McIntyre, Managing Director of Kingmoor Park says “It is so important that we take steps in the local community to strive towards being a more sustainable and net zero business park and one way in which we can do that is through our partnership with Realise HR on their tree planting endeavour. We look forward to seeing their business and trees grow in harmony, whilst continuing to create a greener and cleaner business park for Carlisle.”
