Leave a lasting legacy with a gift in your will
Without gifts left in wills, our work simply wouldn’t be possible. They plant one in every three of the millions of trees we plant, and help protect and restore a third of our thriving wildlife havens.
Why remember the Woodland Trust in your will?
Leaving a gift to the Woodland Trust is the most significant, lasting way you can make a real difference for woods and trees.
Your legacy gift could:
- protect the places you love – saving woods and trees from destruction and helping fight against tree pests and diseases
- care for ancient woods which have outlived generations, making sure they’ll still be here far into the future
- make a lasting mark on the world and create a UK where healthy native woods thrive for people and wildlife.
£100
could allow us to plant and care for four new native trees on our land.
£5,000
could help us create a beautiful five-acre (2ha) wildflower meadow offering shelter and food for pollinators.
£500,000
could fund the purchase of around 50 acres (20ha) of land for native broadleaf planting, depending on location and existing use of the land.
We don’t inherit the land from our ancestors. We borrow it from our grandchildren. We’d like to help leave the world better than we found it.
