Learn how Ben Golias found team building that creates lasting environmental impact
Customer StoriesBen Golias was looking for team activities that would be both enjoyable and meaningful, creating stronger bonds between colleagues whilst contributing to something larger than their immediate business goals. Traditional team building often felt artificial or disconnected from real-world impact.
Like many team leaders, Ben wanted activities that would strengthen workplace relationships whilst aligning with environmental values. Most options required either significant coordination or delivered limited lasting benefit beyond the immediate team experience.
When Ben joined the Talent Army team for CarbonInvoice's Planting Action Day, he discovered team building that perfectly balanced enjoyment with meaningful environmental contribution.
The Planting Action Day provided everything Ben's team needed for effective team building without requiring extensive planning or coordination. They simply showed up and immediately began working together towards a shared environmental goal that would create lasting positive impact.
Planting over 600 native trees alongside their colleagues, Ben's team experienced the satisfaction of achieving something significant together whilst contributing to ecosystem restoration that will benefit local wildlife for decades to come.
Working side by side planting native seedlings created natural opportunities for team members to connect in ways that office environments rarely allow. The physical work and shared environmental goal fostered collaboration and mutual support that strengthened workplace relationships.
The team achievement of planting over 600 trees became a source of shared pride that continues to strengthen team culture long after the planting day. This kind of meaningful shared accomplishment creates lasting bonds between team members.
Contributing to long-term environmental restoration
Ben's team's contribution will continue growing for decades as their planted trees mature and contribute to native habitat restoration. This knowledge that their team building created permanent environmental benefit amplifies the satisfaction and team pride from the experience.
The native trees they planted in Catchpool Valley will provide ongoing carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem restoration benefits that extend far beyond their single day of contribution.
As Ben simply noted: "Fun day planting over 600 hundred trees"
His positive experience reflects how team building works best when it combines enjoyment with meaningful contribution to causes that matter to team members.
For teams seeking activities that build stronger relationships whilst creating lasting positive impact, community environmental action provides the perfect combination of fun and meaning.
