How Family Churchouse turned father-son time into environmental legacy building
Customer StoriesNick and Isaac Churchouse were looking for a meaningful way to spend quality time together whilst contributing to something bigger than themselves. As a father-son team, they wanted an activity that would create lasting memories while making a positive environmental impact for future generations.
Traditional volunteering opportunities didn't quite fit what they were seeking. They needed something that would be engaging for both generations, provide genuine environmental benefit, and connect them with a broader community working towards similar goals.
When they discovered CarbonInvoice's Planting Action Day at Catchpool Valley, they found the perfect opportunity. This wasn't just another weekend activity - it was a chance to literally plant the future whilst strengthening their family bond through shared environmental action.
The Churchouses threw themselves into the planting with enthusiasm that impressed everyone around them. Working as a team, they demonstrated that environmental action can bring families together in powerful ways whilst creating tangible benefits for local ecosystems.
Their impressive planting effort earned them double prize recognition and set new records for the day. This achievement became a source of family pride - they'd not only contributed to environmental restoration but had done so in a way that inspired others around them.
The experience created lasting benefits extending well beyond the trees they planted. As a family, they'd contributed to Catchpool Valley's ecosystem restoration whilst building memories that will last as long as the native trees they planted together.
Their record-setting performance also inspired other families and teams at the event. Seeing a father-son duo achieve so much encouraged others to bring their families and work harder together towards the shared environmental goal.
The day proved that environmental action works best when it brings people together rather than asking them to act individually. As the CarbonInvoice team noted in their response: "A super impressive effort from the Son and Father team with double prize take homes and new records set."
For families wanting to create meaningful shared experiences whilst contributing to environmental restoration, community planting days provide the perfect combination of impact and connection.
