In the Spotlight
9Trees’ Film for Flight Free UK
9Trees and Flight Free UK showcased their partnership with the beautiful short film, ‘From anxiety to action: The story of 9Trees’.
The short film stars co-founder Mike telling his tale of tree planting and his commitment to going flight free.
Environmental filmmaker Tristian Herbert created the film for Flight Free UK, inspiring us to curb climate anxiety by flying less and planting more trees!
BBC Radio Solent Interview
Mike took to the airwaves to speak with BBC Radio Solent and Keep 106 FM about the recent planting in Dorset to create a nature reserve.
The Independent
Louise Boyle, Senior Climate Correspondent for The Independent,
spoke to 9Trees for the article:
‘Stressed about the climate crises? Here's how to act in 2022’
“Tree-planting alone won't stop climate change...I suffer greatly from eco-anxiety so putting trees in the ground helps to quell that...I think because (the climate crisis) is such a massive issue worldwide, people get frozen and that's the main thing that stops them from doing something” says Michael Cunningham, founder of 9Trees
