Protect Killerton's trees and woods appeal

Thanks to you, last year we were able to carry out vital conservation on some of the treasures in the collection at Killerton. Now that these treasures inside have been cared for, we need your help to raise £60,000 to care for Killerton’s trees. This includes woodland, wood pasture, orchards, veteran and ancient trees, and the incredible wildlife they support. The Aclands left Killerton to the nation for everyone’s enjoyment. Will you donate today to help keep caring for Killerton?

The value of gifts in wills

Thanks to a very generous gift in a will, we were able to replace the leaking roof at Killerton. Without legacies and donations, special places like Killerton would face an uncertain future.

Tree of Life

This year Killerton's exhibition will be exploring the human relationship with trees that is celebrated in fashion through the uses of patterns, dyes and materials.

" Killerton is home to amazing wildlife-rich woodlands, and a fine collection of veteran trees that have witnessed centuries of change on the estate. This year’s fundraising appeal will help us protect these valuable assets and plant new woods and trees to be enjoyed by future generations."
