By planting a tree now you are helping to create woodland for tomorrow. Please make a donation today.
Donating online is safe and secure and will also help reduce our administration costs.
By choosing to help plant a tree at one of our four beautiful sites, you will be part of our ambitious plans to create new woodland throughout the UK. Your donation will contribute not only to the initial planting of the sapling but also the careful nurturing of the tree and the woodland over the next 12 years, transforming the land into a flourishing forest in just over a decade.
We will keep you informed of the transformation of our woods by sending email updates on the progress of your chosen wood, news on what events are taking place at the site and invitations to attend forthcoming tree planting events.
Fascinating facts about tree planting

- Within a few months of ceasing farming, trees can begin to regenerate and wildlife returns to the land.
- We have planted over 9 million trees in the UK, more than any other conservation charity.
- One tree can be home to hundreds of plants, insects and animals, making it an entire eco-system.
- A willow tree can quickly establish itself, growing up to 3 metres in its first year, while a yew tree can live to over 2,000 years.
