At Wombat Willow, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's the core of our ethos and operations. We're committed to nurturing both the sport of cricket and the environment that sustains it, ensuring a legacy that future generations can cherish.
Our commitment to sustainability begins with our innovative 3:1 planting-to-felling ratio. For every willow tree harvested, we plant three new saplings, ensuring a net positive impact on our woodlands and significantly contributing to carbon sequestration efforts.
We specialise in converting wet, low-lying fields and riverbanks into thriving willow plantations. This approach not only maximises land use efficiency but also provides natural flood prevention and erosion control, enhancing the ecological balance of the surrounding areas.
Our willow plantations serve as vibrant ecosystems, supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. By creating these green havens, we're actively contributing to the enrichment of local biodiversity, providing habitats for wildlife and promoting ecological balance.
We offer landowners a unique opportunity to diversify their income streams through sustainable willow cultivation. This approach not only benefits the environment but also provides a stable, long-term revenue source, aligning economic interests with ecological responsibility.
Our "tree to bat" approach ensures sustainability at every stage of the process. From nurturing saplings to crafting cricket bats, we maintain control over the entire lifecycle, minimising waste and maximising resource efficiency.
We're dedicated to promoting environmentally friendly practices beyond our plantations. Our commitment extends to educating partners and clients about the importance of sustainable land management and the role of willow in ecological restoration.
