Stowe Restoration Appeal
In 2018, the Royal Oak Foundation embarked on its appeal to raise $200,000 to help the National Trust complete a major, five-year restoration of its magnificent landscapes, monuments, temples and follies. Two donors are matching our appeal dollar-for-dollar – tripling the impact Royal Oak will make to bring Stowe back to its original splendor.
