World Land Trust

10p Tree Campaign

Save Big Trees for Peanuts!

Rainforests are being chopped down at a catastrophic rate, but you personally can save hundreds of trees for a relatively small donation to the World Land Trust.

A donation to the WLT of £150 will save and protect nearly 1,500 big trees in real tropical forest in South America. That's less than 10p a tree!.

And we will plant a tree for you in the UK for free.

Saving big trees in South America
and planting new trees in the UK

World Land Trust is saving threatened tropical forest in real places. But we need your help.

A donation of £150 will save approximately 1,500 big trees in the Rainforests of South America from the chain saw.

And to thank you for your donation the WLT will plant a native-species tree on your behalf on Kites Hill in Gloucestershire.

The project in Gloucestershire

Kites Hill, in the beautiful Cotswold countryside, was given to the World Land Trust to manage for its wildlife.

The 48 acre site owned by WLT is adjacent to a National Trust reserve and includes ancient meadows and an area set aside as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The WLT will be planting a woodland of native species of trees on part of the land, and a tree will be planted on behalf of everyone who donates £150 or more to the WLT's South American Rainforest project.

WLT's Overseas Portofolio

World Land Trust has already helped save and protect over 300,000 acres of tropical forest and other threatened habitats that would otherwise have been destroyed. (See other WLT projects for details). The new challenge in South America could double that figure.

The WLT Pledge

For every £150 you donate we will plant a tree on our Gloucestershire reserve. And we will send you a personalised certificate recording your support.

A Register of Support will be maintained at Kites Hill and this will be available for viewing.
