Enterprise Rent-A-Car Corporate Environmental Initiative
Argyll Forest Park Chosen For Planting 70,000 Trees
In December 2009 Enterprise Rent-A-Car announced it had chosen a number of sites in the Cowal area, Scotland, to receive 70,000 trees through its 50 Million Tree pledge.
In collaboration with the Forestry Commission Scotland, the planting will deliver 70,000 trees to this unique and beautiful area. The trees will help combat soil erosion as well as rebuilding and preserving local habitats for Scotland’s indigenous flora and fauna. This is the second UK element of Enterprise’s 50 Million Tree Pledge.
Diane Mulholland, Vice-President/General Manager for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Scotland & Northern Ireland, comments: “Our focus for this Pledge has been on reforestation schemes because they help to restore the natural environment and also contribute to the local community."
Andrew Hunt, Forest Management Forester at the Forestry Commission Scotland, adds: “Planting 70,000 locally sourced Scots Pine and other species, such as Oak, Ash and Alder at sites like Glen Croe will be an important contribution to our woodland restoration work in the area. To help this new stand flourish we’ve fenced off the area and have also removed all exotic conifer species from the site."
