E037: Mike Cunningham on Trees, Biodiversity and Carbon Balancing

Mike Cunningham, CEO and Founder of 9Trees has always had a passion for wildlife and woodlands. Mike shares his knowledge of trees and woodlands, from his favourite trees to climb as a child, to which variety of tree can be planted where, in the UK. Mike's mission is to support individuals and businesses to start their 9Trees journey, and begin carbon balancing the 9 tonnes of emissions each UK citizen is responsible for every year. Our conversation progresses onto using drone footage to monitor biodiversity gains together with mapping tools. Topics:Wildlife and WoodlandsEcologyPassion for nature and the environmentConservationBiodiversity crisisMonocultureBroadleaf trees: oak, ash, sycamore, hazelPlanting trees and educationClimate crisisGeolocationDrone footageEcology visits and surveysPlanting plansBiodiversity gainsPolygon mappingSatellite imageryEcoanxiety9 Tonnes of carbon emitted by each UK citizen every year1 tree can supress one tonne of carbon every yearStart your 9Tree journey Mike: https://www.9trees.org/shop-allLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/9-trees-carbon-offsetting-cic/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/9treesuk/ Lou: https://www.instagram.com/lou.temlett/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisetemlett/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lou.temlett/THREADS: https://www.threads.net/@lou.temlett Register for LOUTECH HEALTHSCAN: https://loutech.co.uk/healthscan/ MUSIC CREDIT:ARTIST: Maleki Ram | ALBUM: The Ghost at the End of the World | TRACK: The Rushhttps://music.apple.com/gb/album/the-rush/1098113666?i=1098113677 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
