The South Downs National Park raised more than £400,000 from the public for the Trees for the Downs campaign which has included planting 3,500 disease-resistant elms which provide habitats for threatened species including the white letter hairstreak butterfly.
More than 40,000 trees are being planted this winter as part of the scheme which will bring the total to 117,700 across 150 sites in Sussex and Hampshire.
