Christmas gifts

Give loved ones an extra special gift this Christmas and support our work growing England’s largest new native woodland. Whether you are already a supporter of the Heart of England Forest, a nature lover, a dog walker, or an environmentalist, look no further for alternative presents this year. 

Go green this Christmas

Here at the Heart of England Forest we are creating and conserving a huge broadleaf forest, a place of enduring natural beauty, protected and secured for generations to come. 

By choosing one of our Christmas gifts you are contributing to the valuable work we are doing.

How your donations and gifts could help:

  • £10 could plant, protect and nurture 2 native broadleaf trees in the Forest.
  • £25 could buy 5 packets of wildflower seed to plant on our pollinator pathways which help our bees and wasps thrive.
  • £50 could fund 10 young people with special educational needs to spend a morning volunteering in our tree nursery.
  • £100 could help us provide survey training for two volunteers.

Make sure to order your gifts by midday on Friday 15th December to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas day!

Can you send a gift directly to the recipient?

Yes, if you are giving a dedication as a gift you will complete both the donors address and the address for the recipient, which can be the same or different.

Can I order multiple gifts at once?

While the ordering system allows for just one dedication at a time, if you do want to do more than three dedications it is worth calling or emailing us and we can assist with taking the information and one single donation payment.

If I order multiple tree dedications will the trees all be together?

While we cannot promise they will all be immediately next to each other, if ordered on the same day they can all be close together. We would suggest sending an email to put this in as a special request if it is important to you, once all dedications have been made online.

How soon will the tag be on my Christmas tag a tree dedication?

We ask you to allow us 10 days after receiving the dedication pack for the tree to be tagged. With dedications made before the 12th December, we do all we can to get the tags on the trees by the 22nd December. The sooner you order your dedication the better.
