Free Trees for Community Groups

The woodland Trust are offering free trees to community groups

Woodland Trust community tree planting packs are designed to help community groups to plant more trees, hedges and copses in their local shared spaces - by a church, community centre or playground for example, or on patches of land that are currently unused. Packs can be separated and planted in small copses to best fit the public areas in your neighbourhood. Native trees can help mask unsightly developments, mark out boundaries, store carbon and help counteract air and noise pollution. With so many benefits, why not think about spaces available in your local area?
Tree packs are available in two different sizes:

• 105 trees - ideal for planting as a hedge or copse
• 420 trees - ideal for planting on roughly an acre of land.

The larger pack comes complete with canes and spirals. The smaller pack does not include canes and spirals, so you may want to consider buying appropriate tree guards if rabbits and/or deer are present.
Unsure how many trees you need? Try our tree calculator!
Each pack is also available in four different themes:


Year-round colour - beautiful views in every season;
Wood fuel - keep the log fires burning!
Jams, jellies, chutneys and cordials - treats to eat;
Wildlife - provide new homes for our native wildlife
Thanks to support from Banrock Station, the Woodland Trust is offering up to 250 FREE PACKS for communities to plant this Autumn.
