Oak is an essential part of the whiskey making process. So, it is no small feat that Noble Oak, in partnership with One Tree Planted, recently planted 1 million trees.
These combined efforts to restore forests, enhance biodiversity, combat climate change, and support communities nationwide have been instrumental in creating a more sustainable future. The brand now has its eyes set on planting 2 million trees by the end of 2024.
“As a brand built on giving back, we are committed to celebrating the earth and remaining true to our promise of planting a tree for every bottle sold,” said Jack Bauer, Noble Oak Brand Manager. “That means with every new milestone we set, we will continue to lead with nobility and remain focused on creating a positive impact for nature, people, and surrounding communities.”
Since its inception in 2017, Noble Oak has partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every bottle sold. These efforts have led to the successful planting of 58 different tree species in 28 states, representing at least 10 unique forest ecosystems. This diverse selection of trees ensures the long-term sustainability and resilience of forests, while also benefiting local wildlife and communities. Projects include Tahoe fire restoration, specializing in restoring sugar pines and other white pines; the Orca Whale Project in Oregon, planting trees along rivers to restore habitats; to the Chippewa National Forest, restoration focused on wildlife conservation at the highest breeding density of American Bald Eagles; and Cincinnati and Detroit urban forestry initiatives mitigating challenges such as critical shade management, buffering air pollution from industry and roadways, managing and cleansing of stormwater before it enters the cities’ combined sewer system, and neighborhood beautification.
“We are so grateful to have Noble Oak as a dedicated partner and are beyond excited to celebrate this 1 million milestone,” said Ashley Lamontagne, Forest Campaign Manager, One Tree Planted. “Their unwavering support and commitment to our cause exemplify the profound impact that can be achieved when individuals and organizations come together for a common purpose. ”
Noble Oak and One Tree Planted remain dedicated to their shared mission of promoting environmental sustainability and will continue to collaborate on future initiatives to further nurture and protect our planet.
