AWARD-WINNING artist Lucy Pittaway has announced an exciting new partnership which will see her take the next step in her ambition to plant up to 250,000 trees in the next decade through sales of her art.
Sales of Yorkshire-based Lucy’s iconic pa
intings commemorating the Sycamore Gap tree have already contributed towards the planting of thousands of new trees in the UK. And after seeing the impact those trees could have, Lucy wanted to do even more.
Through her brand-new partnership with reforestation organisation Veritree, Lucy has pledged to plant a tree for every piece of artwork sold - and aims to plant a quarter of a million trees worldwide over the next ten years.
Lucy said: “As an organisation, we’re always looking at how we can give back, as well as look closely at how we can minimise our impact on the environment. We pledged in 2023 to plant a tree for every print of Sycamore Gap sold, and we were thrilled to see those trees planted to create the Lucy Pittaway Sycamore Gap Trail at Swinton Estate.
“But we had ambitions to do even more and knew we wanted to plant a tree for every piece of art sold. Partnering with veritree means that those trees will be planted in the areas where they will have the most impact.



“Our mission is to make restoring the planet simple, and help companies like Lucy Pittaway leverage their business for good. A passion for nature is evident throughout Lucy’s work, and we’re thrilled to create a partnership that paints a brighter picture for nature together” said David Luba, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships at Veritree.
We’ve seen firsthand here in the UK the impact just one tree like Sycamore Gap can have on the community around it, and how keenly its loss can be felt. Lucy said “We’re delighted that going forwards, your purchases will enable us to contribute to meaningful reforestation projects on a global scale, and grow our impact together.
