For Plants for Profit
Would your company like to become involved and help us save wild flowers?
Conserving wild plants is about more than plants, wildlife and ecosystems - it is about people and our need for food, medicines, fresh air and water, shelter, and a clean and healthy environment in which to live.

Wild plants may be found anywhere: from rolling downland and coastal cliffs, to quarries, road verges and railway sidings. It is only with the support and co-operation of business and other partners that Plantlife is able to successfully conserve threatened wild-plant populations, wherever they grow.
There are many ways in which your company can support our work and benefit from a partnership with Plantlife and contribute to sustainable development.
These range from demonstrating your commitment to the environment through direct charitable donations, sponsoring events, the international internship programme, endangered species and projects to making gifts in kind, promoting volunteering days to your employees, giving our botanists access to land or contacting Plantlife for information about looking after an endangered species on land owned by your company.
