When you donate to plant a tree with TCV, you can be confident that your tree will:

What is I Dig Trees?
Since 2015, The Conservation Volunteer’s I Dig Trees programme has planted millions of trees and is the largest community planting project in the UK.
Our tree packs are carefully selected to benefit wildlife, the climate and communities. From packs which support pollinators, to trees selected to help provide cleaner air in urban environments, to packs that will create spaces for wildlife providing habitats for a range of native species.

Why is planting trees important?
Planting trees is vital for climate, wildlife, and communities.
Trees play a crucial role in our fight against climate change, removing harmful emissions from the atmosphere, intercepting rainfall and reducing the risk of flooding.
Since the 1970s, the UK has lost nearly half of its biodiversity. Planting trees helps to support thousands of different wildlife species from multiple levels of the food chain, and creating the habitats needed for biodiversity to return.
Increasing the number of trees in urban green spaces helps to reduce air temperatures in towns and cities and remove pollution from the air, improving the health and wellbeing of local communities.
