"We need to bring back the Tree Army" 

- Collin O'Mara, National Wildlife Foundation

This kind of robust, hands-on solution gives young-people the tools and motivation they need to support the UK’s wounded economy instead of weighing it down.

Everyone deserves the chance to make a living, preferably on a living planet. This campaign gives young people the chance to have both in a growing industry.

Where will my tree be planted?

If you choose to sponsor a tree, your Acorn To Oak tree will be planted either on one of our UK-nominated Plant and Protect sites, on private land provided by one of our donors or on nationally protected land.

One of our nominated sites will be dedicated to planting a single tree in memory of each person lost to Covid19.

Your tree will be planted alongside other native trees and in time will transform open spaces into healthy woodland, helping to re wild UK countryside, making for diverse habitat that will become home to a multitude of wildlife.

Who will plant my tree?

Who will do the honor of planting your tree? 

1) Young people supported by the Prince’s Trust and members of the local community on one of our community planting days.

2) Gone West's very own team of seasoned planters.

3) You or your loved ones.

If you choose to gift a tree, we will arrange to have the tree delivered direct to your door at the  or to a loved one to be planted at home at the start of the next planting season.

Clear instructions as to how to plant the tree will be provided as as a well as details of where you can access a video demonstrating the process.

When will my tree be planted?

Planting will commence in September to coincide with the next planting season ensuring your tree is given the best start in life, just like the youth you will be supporting with your donation.

How can I get involved?

If you have land and would like to alot of trees planted on it, please contact us and say you're interested in becomming a Plant and Protect zone. We can even organise a community planting day together.

How is this critical aid?

Below are some examples of what the money raised from the campaign will support.

£12 could give a young person the chance to speak to The Trust’s helpline and get critical advice through The Prince’s Trust. 

£50 could provide a young person in extreme hardship with a food voucher.  

£85 could give one unemployed young person the chance to access a one week online Prince’s Trust course, so they can re-engage in the community and develop critical employability skills for the future
