Pontefract based branded interiors specialist, Interact Limited, has set themselves the target of planting 2025 trees by the year 2025, and has partnered with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) to achieve this ambitious goal.
Interact has been operating from their base in West Yorkshire since 1992, specialising in the design, supply and installation of specialist bespoke and conventional furniture for retail, offices and commercial environments. This business prides itself on providing uplifting interiors for everyone.
The family-owned and managed business has partnered with YDMT, pledging to donate a proportion of their sales to plant more trees in the Yorkshire Dales. Interact Director, Martyn Corker, explained the reasons for the partnership: “It’s very important to us that our business leaves a positive legacy on the environment and our community. We’re incredibly proud to partner with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and to be taking those steps to ensure we are playing our part in actively protecting the environment.”
Planting trees to reduce the effects of climate change has never been more important and YDMT has been supporting the planting of 28,000 new trees and around 2.5 km of hedgerow this winter.
YDMT Development Officer Sarah Hodgson said: “It is great to partner with an organisation that is environmentally aware and wants to make a real difference to woodland cover in the Dales. Some members of the Interact team have already been out with us at Ormsgill, near Airton, to maintain the woodland we planted in 2016.”
Sarah Hodgson concluded, “Interact’s donation will help ensure we continue to plant woodland in the Dales that not only counteracts the effects of climate change but also provides habitat for wildlife and breathing spaces for all.”
