Rural Broadband ISP Quickline Plants 10,000 Climate Resilient Trees in UK

Quickline UK Tree Planting

Alternative rural broadband provider Quickline, which is building a full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless (FWA) network across rural parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England, has announced that they’ve successfully helped to plant 10,000 climate resilient trees in the UK by working in collaboration with GreenTheUK and the Royal Forestry Society.

Most of this planting has naturally occurred in areas that are closely aligned with the network operator’s full fibre broadband rollout – including 6,000 trees in North Yorkshire and a further 500 in West Yorkshire. The effort was also designed to ensure that the right trees are planted in the right places for the right reasons, using native and naturalised species that boost biodiversity and resilience.

NOTE: Quickline is being fuelled by around £300m of public subsidy across four Project Gigabit contracts (here, here and here), plus c.£225m in term loans and debt guarantees from the UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) and a £25m term loan from NatWest.

The provider is also being backed by a private investment of £500m from Northleaf Capital Partners and aims to cover 200,000 premises with FTTP by the end of 2025 (up from 65,000 premises in Nov 2023).

Nick Young, Quickline’s Head of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality, said:

“As a rural broadband provider, we work in some of the UK’s most beautiful and ecologically rich landscapes. We see first-hand the importance of a thriving natural environment. Partnering with GreenTheUK and the Royal Forestry Society is a meaningful way for us to give back to those landscapes and invest in long-term sustainability where it matters most.”

    But did they look after them subsequently? In a hot, dry summer such as we are having this year, if they are not watered they will die. They also need weeds clearing from around them. I believe most trees planted in schemes such as this die, there’s probably some stats somewhere. If they’re not looked after then it’s an empty gesture, greenwashing.

    10,000 trees , how many of these trees will survive ? Or should we be asking instead how many dead trees have they planted in pavements as telegraph poles !! Conscience pricking them
