Just one pound puts a tree in the ground!

Chew Valley Plants Trees is delighted to support Avon Needs Trees in their attempt to purchase Lower Chew Forest.

We have worked it out: They need £100,000 and plan to plant 100,000 trees: just £1 can put a tree in the ground!

As well as this massive tree planting endeavour (the largest in the South West in a generation) they will be caring for 420 acres of land with a mixture of wildlife habitats and regenerative farming. That’s a massive plus for nature and carbon capture and will enhance local food production.

Our aim in Chew Valley Plants Trees is to double tree cover in the Chew Valley catchment area so of course we want this land purchase to succeed: it will have a significant impact on this goal. And the good news is, when Avon Needs Trees buy land they ensure it has public access and is held in trust for this purpose in perpetuity: your children’s children really will play beneath the boughs of the trees you  plant.

So why not donate to this fabulous project today, and leave your own message about why you are donating.

Just one pound puts a tree in the ground: how many trees might you invest in?
