Donate now and support the future of UK forestry

Forestry is essential to tackling climate change, supporting biodiversity and building a thriving, sustainable timber industry. It shapes our landscapes, supports communities and helps safeguard the natural environment for generations to come.

For over 40 years, the Scottish Forestry Trust has supported research, education and training that strengthen the future of forestry in the UK. We invest in independent, authoritative knowledge that informs practice, advances understanding and helps the sector meet the challenges ahead — from tree health and climate resilience, to woodland restoration and the sustainable use of timber.

Your support helps make this work possible.

Demand for research and training continues to grow, while resources remain limited. Every donation helps us support the ideas, evidence and expertise that forestry needs to thrive.
