At TH March, we love getting stuck into projects that make a real difference. On the 10th and 13th of March 2025, 12 of our team members, including our Managing Director, Simon Dawe, headed to The Bioasis for a hands-on tree-planting day.
We’re always looking for ways to give back to the environment, and this was a great opportunity to do just that. Planting trees helps boost biodiversity, tackle climate change, and restore natural habitats. Plus, it was a fantastic chance to get outside, work as a team, and do something positive for the planet.
The Bioasis is a 1,200-acre haven in the South West of England, packed with wildflower meadows, salt marshes, ancient woodlands, and winding rivers. It’s not just a stunning place—it’s also an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Their mission is all about helping people and organizations reconnect with nature and make a real impact. Through immersive, off-grid experiences, The Bioasis inspires positive change—both for the environment and the people who take part.
Our time at The Bioasis was a reminder of how much can be achieved when people come together for a good cause. We’re excited to keep finding new ways to support projects that align with our values and help make the world a greener place.
“We had such a fantastic day volunteering with The Bioasis planting a diverse range of trees and bushes🌳. 12 colleagues from TH March Group dedicated their ESV time and around 3000 trees were planted! Employer Supported Volunteer days offer a unique opportunity to contribute to our local communities and supporting The Bioasis was a powerful reminder of how small actions can create lasting environmental impact.
I feel very proud that THM champions both community and sustainability responsibilities.”
