Plant A Tree Campaign

    At Bryanston, we’re dedicated to playing our part in creating a sustainable future for our planet and we know that planting trees are a powerful way to tackle climate change. 

    As part of our School’s Eco Week, we’re excited to launch our ‘Plant a Tree’ fundraising campaign.

    This spring, our goal is to plant 250 tree saplings across the Bryanston School campus, each available for just £20. There’s no limit to how many you can buy, however, we do have a limited number of saplings available in 2025, so we encourage you to secure yours early.  

    We will plant saplings on your behalf, choosing from native species found in our Estate’s woodlands, such as Common Beech, Silver Birch, Common Oak, Hornbeam and Wild Cherry. Depending on the species, your sapling will be between 20-60cm high and will come with a protective tube and stake to protect it from small mammals.  

    This initiative not only supports our sustainability objectives but also directly benefits our bursary programme. Proceeds from every sapling sale will go directly into Bryanston’s bursary programme, providing life-changing opportunities to those who need it most. Bursaries lie at the heart of our diverse and inclusive community, ensuring talented young people can join the Bryanston family regardless of financial circumstances.  

    As a token of our thanks, you’ll receive a digital certificate by email.   

    Thank you for helping us grow a greener campus, and a brighter future for everyone.

    Plant a Sapling – FAQs 

    • What does my donation buy?

      Thank you for purchasing a sapling for the Bryanston Estate. Depending on the species, each sapling will be between 20-60cm high, and will come with a protective tube and stake to protect it from small mammals. As a thank you, you’ll receive a digital certificate confirming your purchase.

    • Can I plant my own sapling and choose the location?

      Our tree saplings are planted in areas of the estate that are most in need, as determined by our Grounds team. The trees are planted between March and May, and then again in winter by our team, so unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate requests to plant your own sapling or choose its location.

    • Is there a limit to how many saplings I can purchase?

      There’s no limit to the number of saplings you can buy. However, we do have a limited number available in 2025, so we encourage you to secure yours early.

    • Where can I purchase the saplings?

      You can purchase your sapling through our website or school shop onsite. 

    • What will my donation fund?

      Each sapling purchased will help fund life-changing bursaries for pupils at Bryanston. Bursaries are key to our mission of building a school community that reflects the diversity of the world around us, offering more young people the opportunity to join the Bryanston family.

    • Can I ‘tag’ a sapling?

      Due to the scale of our tree planting project, we’re unable to link individual donations to specific saplings. However, you may be interested in our Commemorative Trees. Please visit our website for more information.

    • Which tree species are being planted?

      We will be planting a variety of tree saplings, including Common Beech, Silver Birch, Common Oak, Hornbeam and Wild Cherry.
