Saving Devon’s Treescapes

Otter has always been an ethically minded and family run brewery and we’ve built every part of the business around being as green as possible. After three decades of sustainable brewing we have partnered up with Devon Wildlife Trust in an ambitious new environmental project to take this mindset to another level. The premise is simple: for every brewer’s barrel we sell we will plant a tree in Devon. It really is time for action, not words, and if we all play our part in the challenge to reduce CO2 levels, we will achieve the goal to protect our planet.

‘Saving Devon’s Treescapes’ is a project being led by Devon Wildlife Trust on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum to help enable local communities combat climate change, care for Devon’s treasured woodland and support wildlife by planting and nurturing over 250,000 new trees. As part of this, we’ll be working with local schools, sports clubs, pubs and businesses to help plant as many new trees as possible – our first 500 mixed leaf saplings have already gone in the ground and we’re set to plant another 40,000 over the next 5 years. This positive action will also help in the crucial fight against the devastating effects of Ash Dieback which realistically could result in the potential loss of 90% of our native Ash trees in the next 5 years.
