The Big Tree Plant is a campaign led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Funded by the Forestry Commission to encourage people and communities to plant more trees in England’s towns, cities and neighbourhoods.
£4.2m is now available to support community groups to plant trees in towns, cities and residential areas throughout England.
The funding is for community, civic groups and other non-profit organisations to establish community-led tree planting projects in areas that would benefit most.
The trees must be planted in streets or in green places that are open to all to visit or where local people will benefit from them. Whoever owns the land must give permission and support to the project, and there must be a plan to care for trees after they are planted. Groups working in areas where more trees would help to improve residents’ quality of life are strongly encouraged to apply for the funding.
Closing date for applications: 15 March 2013
