Introduction

Welcome to the International Tree Foundation's website. We are a UK charity which promotes an appreciation of trees, both in the UK and overseas.

In the UK, we work with schools, corporations and individuals to promote the importance of planting new trees, and of protecting established ones. We run schemes to help people plant trees to commemorate a special occasion and campaign to save woodlands and individual trees under threat.

Internationally, we work with non-governmental organisations in developing countries, to support sustainable projects run by and for local communities. These projects involve promoting awareness of arboriculture and the need to maintain biodiversity, protecting existing trees, and planting trees that provide food and income for local people.

As the longest-established tree charity in the UK, we draw on 80 years experience in the field to provide a wealth of knowledge that has never been more valuable than in the current period of environmental change.
