Description

This product is specially set up to enable contributors from Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds, and their supporters and friends all over the world, to dedicate a tree. 

Your sponsored trees will be an offering for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Planting of the first woodland of this project, at Dacre is now complete. As we planted the first trees there, in Autumn 2020, we were blessed with a rainbow!

Trees will be planted on land owned by Make it Wild, at Skipbridge between Harrogate and York, in North Yorkshire, UK. They will be part of a self contained woodland, to be planted in stages. Trees were planted, in Winter 22/23, 23/24 and 24/25.

We look forward to welcoming you, if you would like to help with planting the trees. The idea is for the community to help with the planting. However, please feel free to dedicate trees even if you won’t be able to plant them in person. We will be happy to plant them for you!

The trees will be a mix of native deciduous trees, selected to be suitable for the land and the weather they will experience. This is the best way to encourage biodiversity, and successful woodland creation. We at Make it Wild are very experienced in planting trees. We have created a lovely young woodland of 20,000 trees, which we planted at Sylvan Nature Reserve in 2011. To date we have planted almost 100,000 trees.

You can choose:

• a tree as part of the Global Tree Initiative which will be planted at Skipbridge
• one of 90 trees we hope to plant for HH Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday in 2025, which will be planted at Chopgate
