Plant a Tree

£5 will fund a tree from seed to success

Trees are vital for life on Earth. But every day, more and more forest is lost. As the climate crisis worsens, we must bring crucial forest habitats back to life.

With Plant a Tree, you can be part of the solution.

Donate today and together we can nurture the next generation of forests, one tree at a time.

PLANT A TREE TODAY

How it works

Fund every step in a new tree’s journey

Your donation will fund every step in a new tree’s journey, ensuring each one thrives long into the future. Our conservation partners begin by collecting the seeds of native tree species. Seeds are raised in the protection of our partner nurseries. As the saplings grow, our partners select the right areas for reforestation and prepare the land by clearing invasive grasses and vegetation. Once ready, the new saplings leave the nursery and are planted on-site in existing protected nature reserves. Here, the saplings are nurtured. Any that don’t survive are replaced to guarantee your donation counts where it matters most. The new trees are monitored for up to five years after planting, allowing them to flourish and reach maturity.

The Right Tree in the Right Place

Research shows nearly half of replanted tropical trees die within ten years. Many tree planting projects fail due to lack of maintenance, but careful site selection and ongoing monitoring make a big difference. With World Land Trust, the work doesn’t stop when the sapling goes in the ground. You can trust us to give each new tree the chance it deserves to thrive. All our Plant a Tree projects are overseen by our in-country partners and the local people they employ, who know their landscapes better than anyone else. This allows us to select the right areas for reforestation and the right native tree species to plant.

Reconnecting Forests for Wildlife

Under the care of our partners, many of the new trees grow quickly, with fruiting species providing food for wildlife within just a couple of years. This not only provides vital nutrition but also encourages species back to areas that have suffered deforestation, restoring the biodiversity essential to a healthy natural world. For just £5, your donation supports the creation of thriving wildlife-rich forests that will benefit species, local people, and the climate.

What can you support

Our current tree planting projects include:

Atlantic Forest

Land purchase Reforestation

Live project

The Atlantic Forest is one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots, with extremely high levels of endemism. After centuries of deforestation, just 7% of the Atlantic Forest remains, mainly in isolated remnants. Home to around 70% of Brazil’s population, the Atlantic Forest remains threatened by illegal deforestation, urbanisation, industrialisation and poaching.

Caucasus Wildlife Refuge

Land protection Reforestation

Live project

Situated in southwest Armenia buffering the Khosrov Forest State Reserve, the 30,000 ha (74,000-acre) Caucasus Wildlife Refuge (CWR) is the only privately protected area in the South Caucasus. The Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) leases the land from local communities, which provides the latter with an income for village improvements.

D’Ering-Dibru Saikhowa Elephant Corridor

Reforestation

Live project

The destruction and degradation of natural habitat has led to increased human-elephant conflict in many areas of India. To rectify this, our partner Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) are establishing a protected wildlife corridor, linking the D’ering Wildlife Sanctuary in the state of Arunachal Pradesh with Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in Assam State.

The Greater Udzungwa-Kilombero landscape

Reforestation

Live project

The Greater Udzungwa-Kilombero Landscape in northern Tanzania is a vital refuge for many highly threatened species, such as the African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana). Although the forests are of global conservation concern, they are becoming increasingly fragmented due to land clearance for agriculture. World Land Trust’s (WLT’s) Plant a Tree programme will enable Reforest Africa to enhance connectivity in this landscape.
