If you'd like us to order trees for you, this page will give you the information you'll need
We will be ordering from TA Matthews, Trees for Life, nr Tenbury Wells.
By ordering together we make significant savings, of from £4.00 -£12 (costs shown at present are approx), but we need to place our order soon to ensure supplies of certain less common trees. So far as possible, we have selected European, even local varieties, good for wildlife.

A note about the link with the Jatropha tree project. You may remember we hope to link our tree planting to support for this project run by Concern Universal in the Gambia. We hope people will be willing to add £1.00 per tree ordered so that we can enable more trees to be planted to reduce soil erosion & build fertility in this country which is so badly affected by climate change.
