Independent housebuilder Dandara Scotland has strengthened its environmental efforts by supporting the charity Trees for Cities. Hundreds of trees will be planted this year as part of the programme, with Dandaraโs contribution scaled in line with its projected homebuilding activity for 2025.
The trees will be in place across the UK in locations where they can make the greatest difference โ revitalising green spaces, enhancing natural habitats and contributing to healthier environments.
This initiative follows the release of Dandaraโs first ESG report earlier this year, which outlines its broader environmental approach. That includes developing a net zero carbon pathway to achieve net zero by 2025, rolling out hybrid solar-powered generators on site to reduce fossil fuel use during construction and contributing over ยฃ210,000 to biodiversity and ecology improvements over the past year.
Dandara Scotlandโs donation contributes to Trees for Citiesโ ongoing mission to improve the environments in which people live and work. By planting trees where theyโre most needed, the charity is helping to improve air quality, increase access to nature, support local wildlife and promote healthier, more connected communities.
โPlanting trees is not a silver bullet, but itโs one of many meaningful actions weโre taking to reduce our environmental footprint and support community wellbeing. Our donation to Trees for Cities complements our wider sustainability commitments by helping to restore green spaces and bring nature back into the places where people live. As housebuilders, we have a responsibility to help shape the long-term health and liveability of the areas we build in and this is one way weโre delivering on that.โ
