Your grove of trees will help to create a beautiful, wild forest. Bare hillsides will be transformed into healthy young woodlands, rich in wildlife and protected for future generations.

 

You will receive an online grove webpage where friends and family can add trees and dedications of their own.

Groves cost £30 to create, and this includes your first tree.

FAQs: About your trees

Which types of trees do you plant?

The Caledonian Forest is a rich tapestry which includes over 30 different types of trees. Your tree, will be a sapling grown from locally collected seed and will be one of a number of species we plant such as alder, aspen, birch, bird cherry, hazel, holly, rowan, Scots pine or willow.

Can I choose my tree?

To maximize the impact of your donation we will determine the most appropriate species of tree to plant, depending on the soil, location and time of year.

Can I come and plant my tree(s)?

It is not possible for individuals to plant their own trees, but you are more than welcome to join one of our Rewilding Weeks which often include tree planting amongst other conservation activities.

Will my trees be labelled?

Your trees are being planted as part of our work to restore the Caledonian Forest. To create as natural a forest as possible, we do not label individual trees and we do not allow plaques. Trees are planted sporadically in order to mimic the natural distribution of trees.

Where will my trees be planted?

Trees purchased before summer 2022 will be planted at our flagship rewilding estate Dundreggan. Currently, trees are being planted at Dundreggan in our Carn na Caorach enclosure. Once Carn na Caorach is fully planted we will begin planting in new areas of the estate. Trees purchased after that date will help create new forests in other parts of the Highlands.
