Rooting for Change: How Plant One Cornwall are Connecting Communities for a Greener Future
A Community Interest Company that brings businesses, individuals, and landowners together to plant trees in Cornish soil, Plant One Cornwall creates habitats that benefits native wildlife and keeps Cornwall a green and special land. Currently partnering with the Thousand Year Trust at Cabilla, Bodmin, to establish and expand a temperate rainforest on site.
Walkie Talkies Supporting Volunteer Days
Plant One has found that using two-way radios on their volunteer planting days means that team members can communicate across large planting sites. This enables them to ensure the days run smoothly and most importantly, safely. The radios also increase productivity and no team member is ever out of reach of the radio.
“We hadn’t used radios before but it was a no-brainer that we choose the T82s. They're weatherproof, easy to use, reliable, economical, and have great range.” Says Co-Founder and Director, Rai Lewis.
The Motorola T82 is especially suited for outdoor users, offering rugged reliability and smart features. With accessories like belt clips, earpieces, lanyards, carry cases, and more, it promises great value for money.
Benefits of the Motorola T82 include:
-
✔ Impressive 18 hours battery life
-
✔ Weatherproof rating IPx4
-
✔ Rechargeable NiMH batteries
-
✔ Compatible with standard AA-sized batteries
-
✔ Compatible with any other licence-free Motorola radios
The Plant One Story
Backed by some big names, such as Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, Carbon Sense, Cornish Mutual, and Falmouth University, amongst others, the company has grown from strength to strength with every penny it receives going directly towards putting trees in the ground. Restoration is only half the battle as they also work to raise awareness, educate others, provide expertise to landowners, and support local communities to increase the UK’s canopy cover.
As the company grows (pun not intended) so does the team and with that, their communication and technology needs. Speaking with Rai about the overall buying experience with Radio Solutions, she explained;
“It was very easy, and the products are definitely a 5 out of 5.”
We're thrilled to supply Plant One Cornwall with the Motorola T82 radios and support their commendable efforts in woodland creation. We encourage everyone to consider donating or getting involved with their projects to help make a lasting impact on our environment.
