Ameresco’s U.K. Leeds division made a financial contribution to
YDMT that will help to protect local habitat creation and combat
the adverse effects of the climate crisis through a reduction in
carbon emissions.
Ameresco’s participation in this initiative is a part of a
larger effort being carried out by YDMT to support the planting of
28,000 new trees and around 2.5 kilometers of hedgerow in 2022.
Employee volunteers from Ameresco will work alongside the YDMT team
to maintain and plant trees across the woodlands throughout the
year.
“It is great to partner with an organization that is committed
to environmental excellence and wants to make a real difference to
woodland cover in the Dales,” said YDMT Development Officer Sarah
Hodgson. “Ameresco’s donation and support will help ensure that we
can plant woodland in a way that not only counteracts the effects
of climate change but also provides habitat for wildlife and
breathing space for all.”
“As a business, we are steadfast in helping our clients to
operate more sustainably and to reach their net-zero ambitions,”
said Vice President of Ameresco Leeds Derek Dixon. “At Ameresco, we
aim to lead the quest toward a more sustainable future for all from
within our own organization. We’re proud to partner with Yorkshire
Dales Millennium Trust to increase woodland coverage throughout the
Yorkshire Dales. We know these efforts will have far-reaching
benefits beyond the local landscape and for future generations to
come.”
Ameresco employee volunteers began tree maintenance in October
2020 and are expected to complete the tree planting process by
Spring 2022, for the first year of the Company’s partnership with
YDMT. This initiative complements Ameresco’s larger volunteerism
commitment to double community service hours in 2022 to 2,000+
through more frequent and larger community service offerings
throughout the year.
