Data - Current state of the Two Racoons offset area
This 1,510 square metre area currently supports approximately 34% of the wildlife it could do based on our calculations. This is the data for the Two Racoons carbon offset:
- Carbon dioxide emissions stored in 2022-2023: 5,000kg
- Average emissions stored per square metre: 487g of carbon per year
- Biodiversity metric value: Low-moderate diversity
- Number of plant species present in area: 29
- Average number of invertebrates per square metre: between 350 – 500
- Number of birds nests in summer 2023: 0
- Number of threatened species present: 2 (1 plant, 1 butterfly)
The Future of the Two Racoons offset area
We are targeting to restore this area to high quality habitat by 2026. By this period, we will have restored the capacity of this area to support over 70% of its maximum species potential. The following are targets for this area’s ecology by 2026:
- Carbon dioxide emissions stored in 2022-2023: 5,000kg
- Average emissions stored per square metre: 487g of carbon per year.
- Biodiversity metric value: From Low-moderate to Moderate-High diversity
- Number of plant species present in area: 95
- Average number of invertebrates per square metre: between >1200
- Number of birds nests in summer 2023: 3 nests combined of: yellowhammer, whitethroat, stonechat
- Number of threatened species present: 7 (3 birds, 1 butterfly, 3 plants)
The Two Racoons produce truly sustainable wines, made in Scotland using rescued fruits. Everything is handcrafted, limited edition, plastic free and saving the planet.
