Adopt a Plot

Nature gives us life – through the supply of clean water, the pollination of our crops, the air that we breathe. But our islands are in danger and we’ve seen a higher depletion of nature here than almost anywhere else in the world. Adopt a Plot is a small way you can take a big step towards bringing back nature.

From £7.50 a month, you can help renew a nature super site. These six sites, spread across the UK, have been specially selected for their potential to restore nature across landscapes.

From woodlands and peatlands to rivers and mountains, whichever plot you choose, you’ll be helping to restore a place where nature can recover and thrive.

How your donation could restore nature

By donating to a nature super site, you'll be supporting our teams in a range of nature restoration activities, including:

  • planting more trees to create new habitats for wildlife to thrive
  • reintroducing native species to balance ecosystems and increase plant diversity
  • raising the water level across peatlands to help store carbon and improve biodiversity.

What happens when you donate

You can choose to donate to one of six nature super sites, or spread your donation across all of them.

You'll receive a digital certificate and regular updates on the work you're supporting so you can see your impact grow. You can also personalise your certificate by adding your name to the plot or naming it after someone else.

As an Adopt a Plot donor, you won’t own a specific plot. Instead, you’ll be helping nature recover across entire landscapes, delivering impact where it’s needed most.
