Welcome to Trees For Dorset

Conserving Nature for Future Generations

Our Aim
Green Background

Planting

 each year Trees for Dorset volunteers help landowners and communities plant thousands of native trees.

 

There are also various tree nurseries around Dorset that produce young trees from locally collected seed.

 

These trees end up in local planting projects.

Green Background

Tree Protection

 Trees are under threat from many directions such as building development, agriculture, and also from climate change.

 

We protect young trees through maintenance to ensure good establishment, support them with other maintenance such as bramble and Rhododendron clearance as they mature and work with Dorset Council Tree Officers to protect established trees against inappropriate development.

We also manage woodland through rotational coppicing.

Green Background

Promote

We’re passionate about inspiring the next generation. Our My Life, My Tree, Growing Together programme encourages young people to connect with nature and understand the value of trees. We also give talks and lectures to schools and community groups to raise awareness and promote lifelong appreciation of the natural world.
