The Wolfson Foundation is an independent charity with a focus on research and education. Since 1955, it has awarded over £1 billion to more than 14,000 projects across the UK, supporting excellence in science, health, heritage, humanities, and the arts. The Foundation focuses on capital infrastructure, funding buildings and equipment that enable organisations to deliver outstanding work. Their support for our National Centre reflects a shared commitment to environmental sustainability, public engagement, and educational innovation.
“Restoring tree cover at scale is critical to addressing both the climate crisis and rapid biodiversity loss. Field trials carried out by the Future Trees Trust at its new National Centre will play a key role in developing adapted planting stock for use in reforestation activities right across the UK. We are delighted to help the Trust create new learning and collaboration spaces to educate forestry workers, landowners, school students and the public at large about their vital work.”
— Paul Ramsbottom, Chief Executive, the Wolfson Foundation
