Wild About Woodlands

Our Tree Planting Appeal

We did it! With your support we have raised over £19,000 to plant and care for much needed trees across the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. This will help to create new woodland corridors across the National Park for wildlife to grow and thrive.

Why woodlands?..

From woods to hedge banks, coastal valleys to orchards and fields, our trees are under threat and we need more of them in our landscape.

Partnering with local illustrator Millie Marotta as her new Woodland Wild colouring book launches, we want to create new woodland corridors across the National Park for wildlife to grow and thrive.

From Hazel to Oak, Willow to Mountain Ash these trees provide homes, food, protection and connections for the wildlife around us. Trees also play a vital role is offsetting our carbon and the detrimental impact that we as humans have had on our precious landscape.

How will my donation make a difference?

  • A donation of £5 could help pay for a new tree to be planted and help care for it.
  • A donation of £16 could help pay for a metre of new hedgerow with protective fencing to create new homes for wildlife.
  • A donation of £100 could help pay for 100m2 of new woodland.

By supporting our Wild About Woodlands Appeal today, you’ll be helping to plant and protect an additional 1,000 trees across the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

This is our National Park…lets protect it together!
