There are many reasons people kindly choose to remember the Trust in this special way.
It might be to ensure future generations can create their own magical childhood memories, or be able to relax and connect with nature.
Perhaps it’s because saving our richest habitat will help vulnerable wildlife, or maybe it’s to fight global climate change or simply to leave a lasting living legacy.
Whatever the reason - each and every gift - will make a real difference to our precious woodland.
Here are a few stories behind legacies gratefully received and generously "pledged" for the future.
