Marsh Charitable Trust Continues Longstanding Support for Future Trees Trust

Future Trees Trust is pleased to announce continued support from the Marsh Charitable Trust, whose latest grant of £900 is helping fund our ongoing work to improve the timber quality and resilience of wild cherry, a species with huge potential for sustainable, homegrown forestry. 

Since 2012, the Marsh Charitable Trust has contributed a total of £5,350 to Future Trees Trust, supporting a range of initiatives including core costs and species-specific research. In 2024, their funding supported our Oak Project, which focuses on developing clonal seed orchards and improving the genetic quality of oak for future timber production. 

“We’re incredibly grateful for the Marsh Charitable Trust’s long-term support,” said John McLaughlin, CEO of Future Trees Trust. 

“Their funding helps us tackle key challenges in forestry and make real progress towards a more sustainable, homegrown timber supply.” 

The Marsh Charitable Trust commented:

“We are so pleased to have been supporting the Future Trees Trust since 2012. In our longstanding partnership it has been incredible to see all of the amazing work the organisation has put in to preserving and maintaining British Forestry. We look forward to continuing our support in the future.” 

The Marsh Charitable Trust supports hundreds of charities each year through its Grants Programme, building long-term partnerships with organisations making a difference across the UK. 

While Future Trees Trust receives government grant funding, we rely on the generosity of charitable trusts and private organisations to sustain our core work. If you’d like to support our mission, visit our Support Us page to find out how. 

We thank the Marsh Charitable Trust for their continued belief in our work and look forward to building on this partnership in the years ahead.
