This year might be the year when dad gets something he really, really wants. Dedicate a tree or area of a wood in his name instead on June 18th and let him escape outdoors for a woodland adventure all on his own.
A Woodland Trust dedication in a wood near you will give dad the perfect opportunity to explore, escape, relax and have fun whenever he wants. Whether that’s just a woodland stroll and some fresh air, or maybe foraging, testing his survival skills, spotting wildlife or going completely Bear Grylls without anyone else to worry about. Other times you might all be up for a family picnic, a kickabout, a game of hide and seek or an afternoon of den building.
Tree and woodland dedications from the Woodland Trust start from a suggested donation of just £15 and directly help the Trust’s work standing up for trees all over the UK by protecting, restoring and creating woodland.
We all need trees – they purify our air, give us oxygen to breathe, fight flooding and lock up carbon from the atmosphere. With industrialisation, climate change, tree diseases and development threatening our woods, the work of the Woodland Trust is vital and you can play a part in it with a tree or woodland dedication this Father’s Day.
As the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity, there are hundreds of Woodland Trust woods across the country with trees and areas of woodland which can be dedicated just for intrepid dads. And because their woods are free you and the family can visit anytime you want.
Each tree and woodland grove is dedicated once only and comes with a pack including a personalised certificate, map and information about your chosen wood. And if the family have left it a bit late this year the Woodland Trust can email a tree dedication virtual pack instantly!
