The Green Grid: Working together for a greener Island
In partnership with Jersey Telecom and Jersey Water, we are supporting the National Trust for Jersey’s campaign to plant and restore the island’s hedgerows.
Our aim is to plant and maintain the largest continuous grid of hedge corridors in Jersey.
The ‘Green Grid’ partnership will enhance the existing grid of 26.5 miles of hedgerows which will help Jersey’s wildlife, landscape, and natural resources to flourish.
The Parish Earth Partnership
Tackling the climate emergency and delivering Jersey’s bold aspiration to be carbon neutral by 2030 will depend on partnership and action.
The Parish Earth Partnership, which is a joint initiative between Jersey Electricity and the 12 parishes, aims to make a positive difference for sustainability in Jersey.
We're proud to support the parishes with this initiative and will invest up to £60,000 towards trees, plants and shrubs (£5,000 per parish).

Mourier Valley Planting Project
The Mourier Valley Restoration Project was a collaborative effort between Jersey Electricity, Jersey Water, Jersey Trees for Life and The National Trust to plant an additional 4.2 Hectares of trees next to existing ancient woodland at the bottom of the valley.
After three years of hard planting, the area is now covered with 13 mainly native species, including 1,000 Common Oak, Ash, Sweet Chestnut, Hazel, Wild Cherry, Bird Cherry, Silver Birch, Larch, Sallow, selected to suit the exposed conditions, alongside Rowan, Scots Pine, Monterey Pine and Black Pine to provide additional resources for birds and local wildlife.
Tiny Forests
We're pleased to have partnered with the Government of Jersey in funding the Island’s first carbon-absorbing Tiny Forest.
Working with Jersey Trees for Life and Earthwatch Europe, Jersey's first tennis court-size Tiny Forest is located at Hautlieu School as part of Jersey’s Climate Conversation.
The Tiny Forest concept involves densely planting native tree species in a carefully prepared and highly nutrient small plot of land. They have emerged as an ecological concept gaining ground across the world.
