Join us in growing a greener future with local apple trees, whilst offsetting your carbon footprint
Bath Orchard is a small organisation with big ambition, like the apple seedlings that we plant, nurture and grow. With the residents and businesses of Bath we want to nurture and grow Bath Orchard over the coming years to support the UK's goal of achieving net zero by 2050.
Did you know that apple trees grow by absorbing CO₂ from the atmosphere?
Whether you are a resident or business located in Bath every apple tree makes a difference for the planet, for wildlife, and for people. Here's why planting one is a powerful step toward offsetting your carbon footprint.
When one apple tree is planted, it makes a difference, but when hundreds are planted together, the impact is extraordinary.
A single tree can absorb around 22kg of CO₂ each year. Multiply that by hundreds, and suddenly an entire community is offsetting tonnes of carbon, creating cleaner air, richer soil, and a healthier environment for everyone. By joining forces, we don’t just plant trees, we grow orchards of hope, resilience, and sustainability that future generations will inherit.
Apple trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as they grow, helping to balance out everyday emissions.
The Bath Orchard initiative aims to restore this beautiful piece of land transforming it from an underutilised space into an improved green asset that actively removes more CO₂ from the air than it currently does.
Apple blossoms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, while the trees themselves provide shelter for birds and small animals. Planting one tree helps an entire ecosystem thrive.
Unlike short-term solutions, trees keep working year after year. An apple tree continues to capture carbon and bear fruit for decades, making it an enduring investment in sustainability.
Offsetting your footprint doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Planting just one tree is a simple, tangible way to start making a difference—today and for generations to come.

At Bath Orchard, we aim to create a sustainable apple orchard that serves both the community and the environment.
Our project focuses on promoting biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems through responsible practices.
