> Start a Grove

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 tree dedication

What species of trees are you growing?

We support a variety of species native to the Caledonian forest, these include alder, aspen, birch, cherry, hazel, holly, oak, rowan, Scots pine and willow. The Caledonian forest is a rich tapestry of habitats that includes dozens of different tree species. Your support will help us grow saplings from local seed, plant trees, and support natural regeneration.

Can I choose which type of tree to sponsor?

To maximise the impact of your donation we will determine the most appropriate trees for an area. Many factors influence this decision including if there is already a seed source present, the opportunity for natural regeneration, soil type, altitude, the time of year and opportunities for the greatest biodiversity gain. This ensures that each tree has the best chance of thriving and contributing to the ecosystem.

Can I come and plant trees?

While it is not possible for individuals to plant their own trees, you are welcome to join one of our Rewilding Weeks. These weeks often include tree planting amongst other conservation activities. Please check the itinerary before booking.

Will the trees be labelled?

To create as natural a forest as possible, we do not label individual trees or place plaques. We aim to encourage natural processes and ensure that the right tree is in the right place.

Visiting

Our Dundreggan Rewilding Centre is a great opportunity for our supporters to see rewilding in action. Dundreggan is home to Caledonian pinewoods and superb birch and juniper woodlands, and with mires, wetlands and wildflower meadows, it is a haven for wildlife. At Dundreggan you can access our trails network to visit examples of both planted and regenerating woodland, as well learning more about the wider rewilding picture.

Where will my sponsored trees grow?

Trees are being planted, and natural regeneration is being supported, at various sites across the Scottish Highlands, including the Dundreggan estate, Glen Affirc and at partner sites. To maximise the impact of your donation we will determine the best location for woodland creation and expansion.
