A gift for nature-lovers: dedicate a tree
Over the next few years, the Trust will be replanting the many tens of thousands of trees lost to winter storms across Scotland. This Mother’s Day, dedicate a tree to your loved one and we’ll send a personalised certificate for you to gift to them.
Your gift will help us restore our damaged forests and restore Scotland’s beautiful green spaces, so that natural eco-systems can continue to thrive into the future.
Every donation helps us plant another tree in one of the many woodlands we’re restoring across Scotland. Just £7.50 will help us plant one sapling – £75 will help us plant ten!
