A gift for nature-lovers: dedicate a tree

Over the next few years, the Trust will be planting hundreds of thousands of trees. This Mother’s Day, dedicate a tree to your loved one and we’ll send a personalised certificate for you to gift to them.

Help us restore Scotland’s woodlands by choosing one of our three planting projects to support – replanting the hundreds of thousands of trees across Aberdeenshire lost to Storm Arwen, helping montane woodland regenerate at Ben Lawers, and protecting the rare and endemic Arran whitebeam at Glen Rosa.

Every donation helps us plant another tree in one of the many woodlands we’re restoring across Scotland. £7.50 will help us plant one sapling.

A gift for remembering someone special: dedicate a view

For many of us, Mother’s Day can be a day spent remembering someone special. At the National Trust for Scotland, we are custodians of all the treasured places in our care. By dedicating a view in memory of your loved one, you will make them a custodian of our places too. With six stunning views to choose from, you can dedicate a view at the place that they loved most or the place that carries the most meaning for you. 

Every dedication made in memory of your loved one will help us to keep on caring for the wild landscapes, peaceful gardens and historic buildings in our charity’s care for generations to come.
