An Epping Forest pub is helping turn one million cups of coffee into a million trees.
The King’s Head in Chipping Ongar is among the Oakman Group pubs planting one tree for each cup of coffee sold, which reached one million trees in a year.
The planting is achieved in collaboration with tree-nation, a not-for-profit aiming to create jobs and protect biodiversity around the world, with King's Head trees being planted in Madagascar and Tanzania.
