Partnered with The Nature Trust

Marco is partnering with The Nature Trust, an Irish organisation dedicated to reforestation in Ireland, to purchase land to reforest in order to help promote ecological balance, offset greenhouse gas emissions, and provide forestry that can be used by people as a local amenity. The company also says the partnership supports reforestation and biodiversity projects across Ireland, creating lasting environmental benefits through new native woodlands and restored habitats.
