Your tree will be planted with its use in mind. You will be investing in this tree and when it comes to cutting down this tree or harvesting its products you will receive a unique gift as a supporter.

Sponsor the Wondertree and make Taunton a tree town

We need your support for the Wondertree project in Taunton to happen. Please sign up for our newsletter and pledge your support. With the Wondertree we want an attraction that inspires people in which the trees to have a special place in their lives. We want you to become a sponsor and share in creating a green oasis in Taunton.

If you decide to donate money to the Wondertree cause we guarantee that you will get more than the typical tree dedication scheme. For us planting trees is not about relieving yourself of guilt but in creating a feel good factor. We really want you to buy into the life of tree and get something from it.

Your tree will be planted with its use in mind. You will be investing in this tree and when it comes to cutting down this tree or harvesting its products you will receive a unique gift as a supporter.

So how might this work? Let’s say you want to become a sponsor and donate £150. You might choose for us to plant a cricket bat willow tree (Salix alba Caerulea). This will take 15-20 years to grow to maturity providing you with plenty of time to enjoy its life. When it is felled it will be turned into cricket bats, one of which will become yours to keep. You could sponsor such a tree for your new born child or grand child and by the time they are also reaching maturity they might be well on the way to becoming the next Ian Botham or Freddie Flintoff!
