Volunteers network as they plant Jersey’s Green Grid

At JT we actively encourage our people to get involved in the community and we are delighted to be supporting The National Trust for Jersey, Green Grid Project, alongside, our colleagues from Jersey Electricity and Jersey Water. The Green Grid partnership will see volunteers from our three companies working together to plant and maintain over five miles of hedgerows, creating the largest continuous grid of hedge corridors in the island. It is a hugely significant project that will help sustain Jersey’s environment for many years to come.

Many of our people regularly give up their own time for causes that mean something special to them. As a business, it’s great that we can support such a special project that has already seen over 60 of our employees sign-up to the first round of planting, with many more to follow.

We understand and value the importance of protecting our green spaces so that they continue to thrive and contribute to the natural environment of our island.

With our willing volunteers joining those from the other companies, it is encouraging to see such a high level of collaboration between the utilities as they get out and brave the weather together, helping local species thrive and flourish. It’s an impressive example of people coming together to achieve great things.
