WHAT WE DO

CALO has been established as a sustainable enterprise based upon a very simple business model, designed to run with minimal administrative overhead. This ensures that the maximum proportion of any sponsorship goes towards planting trees or reinvestment in associated education programmes.

CALO aims to provide a simple,sound, ethical mechanism that works for all its stakeholders. Run by a dedicated team of enthusiasts, we understand the rural landscape and what it means to those that live and work within it.

CALO operates 2 schemes:

• The CALO Woodland Scheme is very simple. We lock up carbon by planting appropriate species of trees, in useful places.

• The CALO Education Scheme is aimed at both Primary and Secondary level students. Profit generated from the Woodland Scheme are re-invested to enhance understanding the practical and Climate Change benefits carefully managed woodland can offer.

WHO WE ARE

CALO owes its existence primarily to vision of Sarah Ewbank and Crispin Scott who decided that such a scheme was necessary after hearing that a local Primary School had declared itself to be 'carbon neutral' after planting ten saplings!

All members of the CALO team have a deep interest in trees, and their role within the rural environment.

PRINCIPLE PROFILES

Sarah Ewbank MLI DipLA BSc worked on a wide range of both national and international projects for the renowned landscape architecture practice of Colvin and Moggridge, before establishing her own Landscape Design business based in the heart of rural Gloucestershire with client list that includes Oxford University, and a wide range of commercial and private clients across the South West of England and the Home Counties. Educated in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Bath, Sarah has developed her passion for, and knowledge of, plants and trees over 25 years, lecturing on the subject as far afield as Japan.

Crispin Scott MBA MIoD has lived and worked across Africa, Europe and the Middle East in some of the world's toughest working environments. He has held a range of senior posts in both public and private sectors, and his experience in emerging economies has led to a close interest in social entrepreneurship and sustainable enterprise.
