Stump Up For Trees is an ambitious, community-based charity focused on woodland creation and enhancing biodiversity in the Brecon Beacons area of south-east Wales.
The charity is planting one million trees, using innovative public-private funding initiatives.
Trees give life. It’s hard to overstate their benefits. Trees provide wildlife habitat, food, better air and water quality, medicine, shade, sustainable timber, natural flood management and healthier soils. Most importantly in today’s urgent debate about climate change, trees also sequester carbon dioxide.
Help us to plant more trees, and plant them well.
The Project
Our key goal is to work with upland farmers and other landowners to include more trees on their farmland and designate a proportion of their least agriculturally productive land for tree planting, enhancing biodiversity and natural flood management.
Thereby becoming advocates for the transition into the next era of landscape management based around ‘Public Goods’, including better air and water quality, and public access for recreation and health. Stump Up For Trees is a farmer-led charity embedded in the community.
Stump Up For Trees has an educational programme, taking tree planting into secondary schools in and around the area. We aim to awaken the next generation to the value of trees and the merit of direct environmental action, such as planting in the right places.
Volunteer
If you have a few hours to spare and an interest in trees, or more generally in giving back to nature and improving the environment around us – do, please, volunteer!
We are a small charity. We need help with everything from designing documents to planting the trees themselves. Do get in touch if you wish to help.
