Reasons to give

Love Old Trees?

Many of us have an emotional connection to old trees. Words like stability and strength come to mind. While change may be all around old trees, they are steadfast, enduring reminders of our history.

We treasure their shade on increasingly hot summer days. They shelter, house and nourish the birds whose beauty and songs we so enjoy. Other wildlife too. Old trees are at the heart of every lovely landscape. They help define the places where we live.

Help Offset Your Carbon

Trees absorb and store carbon in woody material above and below the ground. In general, the bigger the tree, the more carbon it stores. While so much money is being invested searching for high tech solutions to capturing carbon, meanwhile our trees are quietly doing the job for a minuscule fraction of the price.

The handy calculator below provides a suggested donation amount to help make up for flying, driving and heating your home.

Honour A Loved One

Many families planning a funeral or celebration of life invite mourners to give to a charity in lieu of flowers. A donation to Tree Trust is particularly appropriate when remembering someone who loved nature or cared deeply about the environment.
