Captain Nick is the visionary behind Creating Tomorrow’s Forests. He’s done it all. From tree-planting in Canada fighting off bears, to barking out orders as site foreman. This man knows trees. With a mission to make the UK green again, Nick set up Tomorrow’s Forests in 2014, an industry leader in commercial reforestation, utilising the latest cutting-edge technology. Six years down the line, TF had grown from 90,000 trees a year, to over 2 million, and with the launch of Creating Tomorrow’s Forests in 2020, we have now planted over 10 million trees in the UK. Nick believes in creating full dynamic ecosystems, not just forests, and is always pushing the company to new heights.

Just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world... Not quite, but Liz was born and raised in a small northern town in Quebec, Canada, where she spent her summers doing what most young Canadians do, she planted trees. It’s a rite of passage in Canada, plant trees in the summer, snowboard in the winter. After moving to the UK, Liz re-educated herself on the different tree-planting methods, and with hard work, dedication, and the sheer willingness to plant more trees than Nick, she became an absolute boss at tree-planting. She now ensures company operations run smoothly at all times and is the backbone of the company.
