Leave something worth finding.

The places we enjoy did not begin with us. Moss gathers slowly. Trees take their time. A good woodland is the work of generations, and its future deserves the same patience.

At Charred Kettle, looking after wild places sits alongside looking after your tools and feeding your people. It is part of taking responsibility for the things that make life richer.

Thinking beyond our own lifetime.

Thousand Year Trust works towards the restoration of Britain’s temperate rainforests. Its outlook reaches across generations, with research and long-term restoration at the heart of its work.

That patient approach resonates with us. We want our conservation story to concern real habitats, wildlife and the people who will enjoy these landscapes after us.

Our intention, clearly stated.

Thousand Year Trust is our preferred prospective conservation beneficiary. We do not currently have a partnership, endorsement or donation agreement with the charity.

We are exploring a contribution of around 1% of eligible product sales. This is a provisional ambition, subject to financial assessment and formal agreements. It is not an active or guaranteed donation commitment.

If a programme is established, we will publish its exact terms, what counts as an eligible sale and records of contributions here. We will use the Trust’s logo only with the appropriate permission.

Closer to home. Bigger than us.

Charred Kettle welcomes readers in Britain, the United States and beyond. Our preferred first conservation focus is British rainforest habitat. Taking care of a particular place can express a responsibility we share wherever we live.
