Every purchase from CJ Wildlife contributes to amazing conservation and nature projects, including the beautiful Blossom Project by National Trust. 

The Blossom Project is a countrywide initiative led by the National Trust. It began during lockdown when our relationship with the natural world came into focus. Although we need nature, nature also needs us. A report commissioned by the National Trust revealed that over the last century over 75% of our orchards have disappeared. This directly impacts native wildlife, as many species rely on orchards as homes or as a source of food.

As a result of this, the Blossom Project planted over 15,000 blossoming trees and continues to plant even more for our wildlife to thrive in and to restore our orchard population in the UK. 

• Six sessions with local school groups in the Lake District, where the children learned about the importance of crab apples for wildlife through the year and propagated their own trees.
• Helping the team at Clumber plant 115 orchard trees, 1,400 hedgerow plants, 42 parkland field trees, 1,200 wildflower plugs and 1,200 herbal plants, and create a new edible forest of mature blossom trees ringed with blossoming hedgerows.
• Helping the team at Arlington Court create a new wildlife corridor by planting blossom trees, approximately one every 50 meters, and creating a Blossom Highway for pollinators.
• Helping Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire restore a community orchard and plant 600 trees with the help of local volunteers.
