For the love of trees, forever

A gift in your Will can help safeguard the future of precious trees and hedgerows for generations to come. Collaboration is at the heart of everything The Tree Council does; by working with charity partners, local government and our volunteer Tree Wardens to fund, plant and care for trees, we can ensure enduring impact that will stand the test of time.

Why leave a gift to The Tree Council?

Remembering The Tree Council in your Will is the most long-lasting way to help us protect trees for the future, supporting our work to ensure habitats, heritage and knowledge continue to thrive in the decades and centuries to come. Your gift could:

  • Inspire the next generation of young environmentalists through our education programme.
  • Contribute important scientific research to support policy makers and landowners to make the right decisions for trees and nature.
  • Help us champion and advocate for the country’s ancient and veteran trees and their habitats.

I’m very thankful that my mum’s legacy gift has been put towards The Tree Council’s work with young people […] It is extremely fitting that her legacy will introduce people who might not otherwise have the chance to do so to appreciate the importance and joy that can come from a closer relationship with our natural environment, and treescapes in particular.

History has gifted our country more ancient native oak trees than the rest of Europe combined, alongside our wonderful hedgerow and orchard heritage. These special treescapes need our protection while, at the same time, we need to create new groves and copses, avenues and spinneys, to combat climate change, offer homes for wildlife and resilience to pests and diseases.
