About the Trust

The Berkeley Reafforestation Trust is a charity dedicated to planting trees and protecting forests in damaged environments.

We work in parts of the world where forest destruction is threatening the survival of rural communities.

As a small volunteer organisation we have minimal operating costs. We raise funds to support our partner organisations that work in the field.

Founded in 1987, the Trust has funded 20 projects in 11 counties. In India alone we have been responsible for planting around 750,000 trees to date.

Forests play an important role in the battle against climate change and global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas.
