Want to plant trees in your area?

If your region of the UK is on the list below and you know/are a community group who want to plant trees – apply!

The International Tree Foundation supports tree planting globally but also locally!  They’re based in Oxford and have up to £1,000 per project to support one-year projects in the following areas:

Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Hampshire.

The Programme supports community projects that will:

• Conserve, restore and protect indigenous trees and woodlands, forests, habitats and associated biodiversity
• Support 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

To be eligible for funding from this round of the UK Community Tree Planting Programme your organisation must be community-based e.g. a school, community group or non-governmental organisation and you must have signed permission from the owner or manager of the land indicating that your project meets legal requirements.

ITF’s priorities are to support community-based tree planting initiatives in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Hampshire that:

• Plant and conserve indigenous tree species in publicly accessible sites
• Engage community members in tree planting and enjoying the benefits of woodlands
• Have clear plans for maintenance and sustainability
