Your legacy is a lasting statement about what is important to you and how you would like to be remembered. When you make 9Trees a part of your legacy, you're making a powerful statement that the restoration of woodland habitats, promoting biodiversity, creating jobs in the countryside sector, and connecting more people to nature are essential steps in tackling climate change.

Like our Landowner Mark Perks from Anglesey who wants to leave us the parcel of land planted by us in 2020, a gift in your Will to 9Trees or by beneficiary designation helps ensure that our vision of restoring new woodland habitats and promoting biodiversity will continue for generations to come. When you join us in this effort, you become part of a community of like-minded individuals committed to creating lasting change.


Why Choose 9Trees?

With over 40 years of combined experience in conservation, 9Trees works differently than grant schemes. We cover the cost of the trees, stakes, guards, and fencing, as well as the pre- and post-management of the woodland to ensure its longevity. Our specialist knowledge in conservation enables us to create woodlands that support local wildlife and improve biodiversity. As a Community Interest Company, we plough any profits back into good schemes, training, and education.

How Your Legacy Can Make a Difference

Creating new woodlands is an effective way to combat climate change, promote biodiversity, and provide jobs within the countryside sector. By leaving a gift in your Will to 9Trees, you are helping to ensure that our vision becomes a reality. Your gift will cover the cost of creating new woodlands, maintaining them, and providing benefits to future generations.

When to Consider a Gift for the Future

It's never too early to plan your legacy. Whether you're young or old, including a gift to 9Trees in your Will is simple and could cost you nothing or very little. Gifts can come in all sizes, either as a stipulated amount or as a percentage of your assets. You can always make adjustments to your plans if you change your mind or if your financial circumstances change.
