In 2019 Michael Braithwaite gifted the Lower Dean as an amenity for the village of Denholm and a haven for wildlife.
“The ancient woodland of the Lower Denholm Dean has been transferred to community ownership thus ensuring future generations can continue to benefit from this rich resource.”
Sponsor an Oak Tree. Oak has been chosen for the appeal because of its strength and longevity, so it can be enjoyed by the Denholm Community for generations to come.
To help cover the cost of replanting and to create a fund for future maintenance, you are invited to become a sponsor by donating £10 for one tree or more for additional trees. If you are able to help in this way, please complete the sponsor form (download) and send it to any of your friends or family you think would also help.
Your name and sponsorship number will be on the Lower Dean page of the Denholm Village website - unless you wish to be anonymous. A number on the tree guard will identify your tree.
