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.
