About Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum

The Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum is a dedicated charity organization based in the UK, committed to supporting and enhancing the Westonbirt Arboretum, one of the most important tree collections in the world. Established with the vision of preserving this natural treasure, the Friends play a crucial role in promoting the arboretum's conservation efforts and educational programs.

Our core activities include fundraising for vital projects that ensure the sustainability of the arboretum, as well as organizing events and activities that engage the community and raise awareness about the importance of trees and biodiversity. We work closely with the Forestry Commission to support the management and development of the arboretum, ensuring it remains a place of beauty and learning for future generations.

Members of the Friends enjoy exclusive benefits, including access to special events, guided tours, and volunteer opportunities. We believe in fostering a strong community spirit, encouraging individuals and families to connect with nature and each other through our various programs.

In addition to our conservation efforts, we are passionate about education. We offer workshops, talks, and family-friendly activities that inspire visitors of all ages to appreciate the natural world. Our aim is to cultivate a sense of stewardship towards the environment, empowering individuals to take action in their own communities.

Join us in our mission to protect and celebrate the incredible diversity of trees at Westonbirt Arboretum. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that this magnificent landscape continues to thrive for years to come.
