The incident happened near to the junction of the A49 and Ludlow Road, Little Stretton, Church Stretton, at 12.50pm this afternoon.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival crews found a man lying underneath a tree. His paragliding harness and canopy were further up in the tree.
“It is believed the man had landed some way up in the tree and whilst he was attempting to climb down he fell approximately 20 feet to the ground.
“The man, in his 50s, suffered minor cuts and bruises and suspected leg and pelvic injuries.
“Crews treated the man for his injuries and immobilised him with a neck collar and spinal board as a precaution before he was flown to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.â€
