When you donate a tree in the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy,
​you’re doing more than planting in the soil.

You’re planting hope, restoring humanity’s bond with nature and creating a living legacy that will grow in impact over the coming centuries.
​

The Grootvadersbosch Conservancy has launched an active restoration programme alongside our ​invasive alien clearing work. 

Where nature can no longer recover on its own, we’re giving it a helping hand: planting and propagating indigenous trees
and plants in our own nursery, and planting them back into disturbed areas.

But this project is about so much more than trees and plants: It’s about people.
Through this work, men and women from rural communities are developing new skills, finding jobs
​ and rediscovering a love for plants and nature.

Our goal: To plant 1000 trees in the next year, raising R150,000 for the restoration activities, and supporting livelihoods in our nursery. 

Your gift helps the
​Grootvadersbosch Conservancy

- Restore indigenous forests and other natural areas where nature can’t recover on its own

- Protect biodiversity and bring balance back to damaged landscapes

- Create jobs and build skills in rural communities
​
- Inspire a renewed love for plants and the natural world

But just as important:
​your donation helps you connect back to nature too.

​Our world needs people who believe in protecting what matters – who know the joy of giving back to the Earth and leaving it richer than they found it. By donating a tree, you join a community of people working to rebuild not only nature, but also our shared humanity – one that is kinder to the planet.
 
And because every action deserves to be celebrated, each donated tree will also be represented with a colourful flag on the Grootvadersbosch Tree artwork designed by Magpie Art Collective – a living, lasting symbol of your generosity and connection.
