What's Included?
  • Your Giant Sequoia planted on a 100m² plot of Great Reserve land.
  • 3 native trees for every sequoia within our groves.
  • 20 other ‘nurse crop’ trees to help protect the Sequoia from frost and wind.
  • An engraved wooden plaque with your tree coordinates and planting date
  • You can come and plant yourself (optional)
  • Your tree listed on our site Register
  • Growth updates every 5 years with satellite and drone images and height + volume data
  • Tree maintenance and stewardship by our team
Who is The Great Reserve?

The Great Reserve is dedicated to protecting the endangered Giant Sequoia by planting and safeguarding new forests across the UK.

Founded to secure a future for these ancient giants, we combine science, stewardship, and community action to fight climate change and preserve living legacies.

By adopting a Sequoia, you help protect a species, capture carbon, and create a forest your family can visit for generations.

Join us in planting the world’s future giants.

Why Sequoia's and not natives?

Climate change is accelerating faster than any single solution can offset, and land available for reforestation is limited. To make every acre count, we plant the trees that capture the most carbon.

Giant Sequoias are unmatched in this – capable of storing up to 10 times more CO₂ per acre than native woodland and holding it safely for over 1,000 years. Each grove we plant also includes native trees typically oak, birch, and rowan to support biodiversity and habitat health.

This isn’t about replacing native species. It’s about protecting the planet and a key ally tree species with a long-term solution – combining the strength of the Sequoia with the diversity of Britain’s native trees.

This isn’t about replacing native species. It’s about protecting the planet with a long-term, science-backed solution - combining the strength of the Sequoia with the diversity of Britain’s native trees.

How it works

Your adoption helps us grow a Giant Sequoia from our UK sanctuary reserves - cared for, monitored, and protected as it takes root among thousands of native trees. Over time, your Sequoia will capture carbon, restore old growth forests, and stand as a living legacy for centuries to come.

Why adopt a Sequoia?

In minutes, you're helping grow forests that will outlive you - capturing carbon, restoring balance, and securing a future for generations to come. Real trees. Real impact. Measurable for centuries.

350+ tons of carbon

Each Giant Sequoia can capture and store more than 350 tons of carbon over its lifetime - making it one of the planet's most powerful natural climate solutions.

1,000+ years of life

These giants can live for over a millennium. Your Sequoia will keep growing, storing carbon, and standing tall long after we're gone.

100% protected groves

Planted in UK sanctuaries with long-term stewardship, your Sequoia is monitored, GPS-tracked, and cared for under verified forestry standards.

1 legacy, many roots

Your tree joins thousands of others - each with a name, a story, and a shared mission to protect the planet for future generations.

Track Your Living Legacy

Your Sequoia’s growth and carbon capture are tracked using Treeconomy’s Sherwood LIDAR, a drone-based system that measures canopy growth and converts it into accurate carbon removal data.

Every scan is independently audited by the Soil Association under FSC® Ecosystem Services standards, meaning your tree’s contribution is scientifically verified - not estimated.

From GPS coordinates to carbon data, your Sequoia’s progress is recorded for the centuries it will stand.
