Business Support Schemes

Our support schemes are open for hotels, B&Bs and businesses of all sizes in Perthshire Big Tree Country and along the Cateran Trail.

Donate

Every donation, big and small, makes a huge difference to the work we are able to do to develop, improve and conserve Perthshire’s incredible countryside.

We're running to appeals just now for the Cateran Trail to support our project work along the route and for the Birnam Oak to conserve this incredible icon of Perthshire's tree heritage. Donations of any size help to make a huge difference towards the amount of work we are able to do in these specific areas.

Leave a gift in your will

If you feel you would like to continue helping support our charitable purpose, we warmly welcome a legacy left to the Trust in your will.
