Plant a Tree

To save our future, we must plant more trees

Planting trees is crucial in supporting our wildlife and fighting climate change.

At Woodoaks —a farm donated to our charity — we’re planting trees to support our wildlife. From dormice, bats and bees to butterflies, jays, nuthatches and so many more, each tree we plant creates homes for over 130 species of wildlife.

Just £3/month will plant hedgerow trees at Woodoaks. Your support will make such a significant difference to our wildlife’s future. 

• Right now 1 in 10 species of wildlife face extinction

  We must continue to reverse the disappearance of woodland and hedgerows. It’s destroying wildlife habitats and threatening biodiversity. If we don’t, animals and birds like the hedgehog and swift could vanish forever.

• Plant trees to fight climate change

  They absorb carbon from the atmosphere and safely store it deep in the soil. Planting new trees makes a significant contribution to the UK’s carbon net-zero target.

• Plant a tree to save our soil

  Climate change brings more extreme weather. Alongside fighting global warming, the trees we plant around fields act as a barrier, preventing soil from being washed away in flash floods. They also reduce the risk of it being blown away during dry months.

  One inch of soil takes over 500 years to form! So it’s vitally important that we protect it.

• Plant a tree for future generations

  With your help we can plant new trees to support wildlife and fight climate change. Help plant more trees today.

  We’ll keep you updated with a monthly newsletter with updates on our campaigns.

 

Let’s plant more trees at Woodoaks Farm

£3/month plants hedgerow trees, like hawthorn and field maple, which provide safe shelter, food and nesting habitats for dormice, birds and pollen rich flowers for bees. 

£5/month plants native broadleaf trees such as oak and beech. These provide food and habitats for a huge range of wildlife including bats, nuthatches and small mammals. 

£7/month plants fruit and nut trees like apple and walnut. These trees are sown with wildflower mixes, which help support a wider range of wildlife.  

About the Soil Association

We’re a charity planting trees for a better future.

At the Soil Association we understand that many of the problems society and nature face are connected. So we work on multiple fronts to transform the way we eat, farm and care for our world.

Planting trees is just one of the ways we’re doing this, but as a charity we need your help to continue.  

Questions

If we are lucky enough to raise enough funds to plant all the trees we need, donations will go to wherever the need is greatest in the charity.
