Seedling survival at twelve months, by planting cohort
The number that decides whether a planting day meant anything. We publish it beside the planting total, always — quoting one without the other overstates the work by roughly 60%.
Bank replanted and surviving
Cumulative kilometres with buffer planting still alive at twelve months. Not the length we planted — the length that held.
Three of those four are internal estimates
They come from our own field records and have not been externally audited. We publish them because withholding them would be worse, not because they are beyond question. When the first external audit is complete this page will say which figures it covered.
Why we lead with survival, not planting
It is common to see a conservation organisation report the number of trees planted. That number is easy to generate and tells you almost nothing: it describes one day of activity, not a living outcome.
Our twelve-month survival rate is 61%. Reporting 11,200 planted without that figure would present our work as roughly 60% more effective than it is. So the two numbers travel together, always.
The same logic applies to training. We count individuals rather than attendances, because an organisation reporting attendances can multiply its figures by running more meetings for the same twenty people.
