Donate for Trees

Each tree requires funding. We calculate £7 per tree will cover tree, staking and protection as well as management (10 year plan) and volunteer re-reimbursement for labour. Any additional money will be used to buy more trees, create accessibility and other wildlife initiatives such as pond creation.  

If you pay £10 per tree we will send you a lovingly created certificate identifying your tree, its place on a map! a real lovely gift that keeps growing! 

or

You could even sponsor a grove! perhaps the osier willows (£70 would cover trees and stakes and tree guards)? we can provide certificated and great for gifts if you cant think what to give and you can always visit them:) email if interested campbelandhorn@gmail.com  

can be emailed or posted, please state which option!

YOU NAME THEM and when planted we will map them with your name on them:)

                      Beech     Scots pine     larch     Maple     Osier willow     Small leaved lime

With our gratitude and the thanks of the Land.

We are happy to receive visitors and donors get extra special treatment and a chance to plant their trees!

Also, if you have other ways to contribute let us know, maybe time to plant, dig, mulch... or if you have wooden support stakes for the saplings. All ideas and support welcome!





Our plans were originally conceived to encompass a mixed woodland of at least 1000 native trees funded by a grant from the Forestry Commission. We have now discovered that all grants are on hold and unavailable due to government cut backs. However we are still committed to expanding the forest cover of Dartmoor National Park and in cooperation with Moortrees we will start planting as soon as possible.

Here is the outline plan:

The wood will be predominantly Oak and Ash with Chestnut, Birch and Alder. There will be Hazel coppice and Osier Willow to encourage woodland diversity and craft industries. A small addition of Scots Pine will break up the planting. Rowen and Cherry will provide a secondary cover. We also envisage a forest garden initiative near the orchard (existing) separate to our woodland planting. The woodland will join onto existing forest that runs up and onto the open moors, linking wildlife managed areas to our village and add to the overall exceptional biodiverstity of the area. We will also, in partnership with the church, expand the wildflower areas and create glades that maximise wildlife potential.

It is unfortunate that granting has been removed at a time when we so desperately need more afforestation and biodiversity. This is part of our contribution to a sustainable planet that is a gift to future generations and we ask you to donate if you wish to be part of this, see button above.

 *LATEST * coordinating with the Woodland Trust, Moortrees and the Forestry Commission is proving difficult, not least since Ash trees are under quarantine due to Ash die back, alternatives are Small leaved Lime which are more costly and less available. Add to this deer protection issues. But we continue and recently planted a small corner with Oak, Ash (local), Hazle, holly and elder...

From moor trees we have:

150 Oak
70 Hazel
70 Birch
40 Rowan
50 Alder
30 Spindle
10 Alder buck

From Ashridge we have spent  (not including VAT at 20%):
50 beech,  £105
12 scots pine, £30
10 larch, £15
3 maple, £20
30 osier willow, £25
1 czar maiden plum, £15
20 small leaved lime (the ask alternative) £60

£300 and that's without stakes and tree guards! and this is our second smaller order! so anyone up for donating for trees! please so so..

This is about creating a woodland in Dartmoor and doing so amongst friends is awesome. Those who have already donated, i just want you to know that those trees will always carry a part of you in them, for me! thankyou:)

Some of our order includes non natives as shelter and variety is key. the Limes are native but rare to see in the UK, they have a very similar place as Ash but with the Ash die back disease were trying out alternatives!

The maple is for colour in the new wood.

We want the woods used year round!
