Trees store carbon. Our jumbo-sized Christmas Tree is based on a single Sitka Spruce, grown commercially in the UK. Over a typical 40-year life the tree will capture and store 742 kg of carbon dioxide.

So we thought it would be fun to show that happening with this animation- admittedly with a touch of Christmas magic!

The image is a modified extract from visuals we created during the summer with Wood for Good, the UK's wood promotion campaign. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Wood for Good: scoping ideas, creating films and images and also working together to publicise the stories through social media.

Our short post-production video giving insight from our clients is here.

No reindeer were harmed in the making of this video. Have a sparkling Christmas break.
