Donate to our tree planting fund
To ensure that everyone can benefit and enjoy this initiative, The Lord-Lieutenant, in collaboration with Worcestershire County Council and Worcestershire Community Foundation, has set up a fund to raise money to help those who need support to fund their planting. The more donations we have, the more trees we can plant!
