In the charity's own words
The Trustees have a principal focus on support of a pre-eminent arboretum of the genus Quercus for the familiarisation and education of the public in oaks and of research into them. They also promote the protection of nature and especially of rare and endangered species of the oak genus. The Trustees use their income for these objects and may make grants to support others with similar objects.
