Details

The Tree Council and SP Energy Networks (SPEN) are working in partnership to deliver a programme of tree planting between 2024 and 2028. Together with local communities, they will plant trees across central and southern Scotland, with a specific focus in areas such as parks, schools, and community spaces. Hedgerow planting, community orchards and other urban planting schemes will also be supported.

They are looking to support well-planned, tree planting projects that will directly benefit people, communities and wildlife.
