Today we chat with Carl Rowlinson, co-founder of Plant One, the community-driven project bringing native woodlands back to the South West. Carl reveals how the UK was once covered in temperate rainforest — and why only 2% survives today. Plant One is on a mission to change that, planting diverse, publicly accessible woodlands that reconnect people with the land, nature, and each other.
Driving the message of his No Trees no Seas project, Carl dives into what real reforestation looks like: collaborating with farmers, landowners, volunteers, and businesses to restore ecosystems by hand. This episode is a powerful reminder that environmental change isn’t distant or abstract — it’s rooted in real forests, real people, and real action, rebuilding what has been lost, one tree at a time.
In this episode:
· Plant One’s Mission: how native woodlands are being restored across the South West to revive habitats that were almost lost.
· Cornwall’s Landscape: why Cornwall, despite its wild image, is one of the UK’s most deforested counties.
· Biodiversity Boost: how rewilding supports birds, soil health, fungi networks, seas and marine life, but most importantly, climate resilience.
· Collaborative Restoration: how working with landowners and communities ensures forests are restored respectfully and effectively.
· Businesses Making Impact: how companies can fund woodland creation and actively participate in rewilding.
· Heritage Reconnected: why reforesting also reconnects people to heritage, memory, and place.
· Long-Term Thinking: A reminder that restoring forests takes decades and centuries, not seasons.
· Everyone Can Help: Discover how volunteering, supporting initiatives, or taking small actions contributes to meaningful change.
