UK Community Tree Planting Grants
Details
The International Tree Foundation provides financial support for community tree planting projects. They also provide expert consultation and advice for projects that need it. This may include help with project design, species selection, ground preparation, and so on.
The UK Community Tree Planting Programme aims to support community projects that will:
- Create and conserve indigenous trees and woodlands, forests, habitats and associated biodiversity
- Foster community engagement in tree planting to promote reforestation and to increase awareness of the importance of trees and forests to environmental and human well-being
- Encourage social cohesion and inclusion
The below criteria are essential for this round of funding -- your project must:
- Plant trees in public / publicly-accessible spaces: sites that are accessible to the public, including schools, parks, rights of way, and sites managed by community groups
- Plant indigenous tree species. This may include traditional fruit trees and ‘honorary’ natives where appropriate
- Engage community members in tree planting and enjoying the benefits of woodlands
- Have clear plans for maintenance and sustainability
