Come and join us

plantatree

Each year hundreds of people, from all across the country help us by planting a tree, or group of trees. They know their tree will be part of a forest that is absorbing carbon and reducing the impact of climate change. They know their forest is a place of beauty for people of all ages to enjoy.


As Robert Biswas-Diener, author of ‘Happiness’ says "Not only does giving a gift make people happier, research shows that social and experiential activities (getting together to plant a tree in this case) make people the happiest."

The perfect gift

Children with spades at the ready!

You do not necessarily need a special reason to plant a tree but it does make a much loved, living gift to celebrate occasions such as:

  • Birthdays
  • Christmas
  • Valentine’s Day
  • Mother’s Day
  • Father’s Day
  • Graduation
  • Weddings
  • Birth of a baby
  • Anniversaries
  • Retirement

Taking part in plantatree

Group planting trees

In return for supporting the plantatree scheme you, or the person you are buying for receives:

  • An invitation to a special tree planting event
  • A choice of tree to plant, normally oak, ash or birch
  • The advice and expertise of our foresters
  • A personalised certificate, commemorating your planting
  • We can also plant on your behalf if you choose, or prefer not to attend

Planting a tree in memory of a loved one is also an inspirational way of celebrating their life.

More information

Each tree is £25 which reflects the true cost of creating and developing the new woodland, including further care and maintenance of the site.
