All About iCONic Trees

Welcome to the homepage of the iCONic Project (Internationally threatened CONifers In our Care).   iCONic has been established to help save some of the world's most threatened conifers, by collecting seeds and creating safe-havens for young trees in the forests, gardens and estates of Perthshire, Big Tree Country.

Around half of the world's conifers are threatened with extinction in the wild.  Conifers are an extremely important group of plants, and many species provide human-kind with essential materials including timber and medicines.

Unless we act now to save them, many species are in very real danger of being lost forever.  iCONic needs your help to save these trees and to ensure that future generations will enjoy the benefits of this remarkable part of the world's biodiversity.
