The Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust have been working with East Lothian Council to develop a range of Tree Time donation packages in order to plant more trees as part of it’s Tree and Woodland Strategy.

Our aim is to increase and maintain East Lothian’s trees by offering a way of commemorating a loved one’s life, marking a child’s birth, celebrating a special anniversary or just to show how much a person cares about trees and also East Lothian as a place.

By taking part in Tree Time East Lothian, you can choose from a range of packages from £20 to £2,000, all of which will go towards planting more trees in East Lothian as well as looking after existing trees across the county, with an initial focus on planting more street trees.

The higher end of the donation scale offers the opportunity for you to sponsor an existing tree or pay for a new tree to be planted. We will then place a personalised, commemorative plaque on the tree in recognition of your donation.

You can also claim Gift Aid which will add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Tree Time to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Tree Time we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

You can help by making a donation to one the various packages available.
