Buy Carbon Credits from Lowther

Most carbon credits tell you how much carbon has been captured. Lowther’s Charismatic Carbon tells you why it matters. Every credit comes from woodland creation on the Lowther Estate in Cumbria, and we sell it from our own land rather than through a broker.

Enquire About Carbon Credits

Bought direct from our land, not through a broker

Many carbon credits pass through brokers and trading platforms before they reach a buyer, which leaves a gap between you and the land doing the work. Ours don’t. The woodland projects sit on the Lowther Estate, and we sell the carbon ourselves.

That means you know exactly where your carbon comes from and who looks after it, and the money you spend goes into land in Cumbria rather than into a chain of intermediaries.

Direct from the landowner

The carbon comes from land Lowther owns and manages. You deal with us, not a broker, with no market in between.

Woodland Carbon Code

Our woodland creation projects are registered with the Woodland Carbon Code and independently governed and monitored.

Visit the projects

Buyers are welcome to visit the projects on the Estate and see what their purchase supports.

More than a carbon credit

When you buy carbon from Lowther, you pay for more than tonnes of CO₂ removed. You help restore upland landscapes, create new native woodland, improve water quality and support the people who live and work on the land.

What your purchase supports

The value goes well beyond the carbon ledger. New broadleaved woodlands link up habitats across the estate, giving wildlife more room to move. The projects help slow the flow of water off the hills, improve the water environment, and support pollinators and woodland species. The Estate’s projects have already achieved strong Woodland Benefits scores across biodiversity, community, economic and water categories.

One tonne removed. One landscape restored. Multiple legacies created.

A climate story you can stand behind

Buyers are asking harder questions about carbon. Where is it? Who checks it? What else does it pay for? Charismatic Carbon answers all three. Your money stays in the UK, in projects your customers, stakeholders and staff can understand and see for themselves, rather than in anonymous reductions overseas.

The Lowther Estate developed Charismatic Carbon to record the environmental and social gains that sit alongside the carbon, because that’s what buyers who take this seriously want to report on.

See the projects for yourself

The projects are on the Lowther Estate in Cumbria, and you’re welcome to come and see them: the new woodland, the restoration work and the people who look after it.

Common Questions About Buying Carbon Credits

Where do your carbon credits come from?

From woodland creation projects on the Lowther Estate in Cumbria. We own and manage the land, so every credit traces back to a project on the Estate.

Are your carbon credits verified?

Our woodland creation projects are registered with the Woodland Carbon Code, the UK standard for woodland carbon, and are independently governed and monitored.

Are you a carbon broker?

No. We sell carbon from our own land. You deal directly with the landowner, with no broker or market in between.

Why buy UK carbon rather than overseas credits?

UK carbon keeps your investment close to home, in projects your customers, staff and investors can understand and visit. It also comes with gains you can point to, such as new woodland, cleaner water and more wildlife.

Can we visit the projects?

Yes. Buyers are welcome to visit the projects on the Estate. Ask us about a visit, or about corporate days for your team.
