About us
Our vision is to support Westonbirt to be a world leader in trees, inspiring people through education, participation and conservation.
Our mission is to support Westonbirt to connect people with trees to improve the quality of life.
Our charitable aims are to further public enjoyment and knowledge of this world renowned tree collection and to secure its sustainable future. We do this by engaging, informing and increasing our supporters and also by giving financial and practical support to the management and development of Westonbirt, The National Arboretum.
Westonbirt Arboretum is not only an important environmental and educational resource for those who live locally but performs work that has national and international benefits. At Westonbirt Arboretum expert arborists are trained who will help care for woodlands and forests across the UK, and we fund participation in climate change research that benefits worldwide environmental understanding.
