A celebration of trees, nature, and community action
This winter we are aiming to plant 100,000 trees - including the creation of 125 acres of completely new woodland. Each tree planted will revive and create green spaces, and shelter local wildlife.
A big thank you to everyone who has supported us so far
Your donations are being put straight to work - by the end of December we’d planted 34,850 saplings. It’s a great effort, but we still have a long way to go.
Our team will be carefully planting one tree at a time right through until March, so there is still time for you to get involved.
