For every for-sale and let sign, FSS will plant a tree
This article is sponsored by FSS.
Feather Smailes Scales (FSS) have become the first Harrogate estate agent to launch a 'plant a tree' scheme to help combat climate change, ahead of next week’s COP26 Climate Change Conference.
For every for sale, to let or auction board put up, FSS will plant a tree. So when your for sale sign goes up, you'll know that somewhere in the world, a new tree is growing too, and the planet is a little better protected.
Harrogate's leading estate agent have joined forces with a tree planting agency to ensure that they do their bit for our world.
The trees will be planted as part of a wider project to support communities in poverty and increase biodiversity in Madagascar, Kenya, and Haiti. Not only will the trees themselves help the planet, but the planting projects also help grow the economy and offer employment opportunities in these low-income communities.
Simon Croft is a partner at FSS. He said he hopes thousands trees will be planted under the company's scheme:
FSS, the only fully comprehensive property agent in the district, offers a range of services, including sales, lettings, surveys, auctions, valuations and commercial offerings.
FSS Property are leading the way with combatting estate agents' carbon footprints.
Anyone who instructs FSS to sell, let or auction their property will have a tree planted on their behalf! You can follow how many trees the company has planted by checking the tree-counter on their website.
