About the funding

This fund aims to support community tree, hedgerow, and orchard projects that boost agricultural productivity and creating green spaces.

The Tree Council’s aims are to:

  • Improve the environment in town and country by promoting the planting and conservation of trees and woods throughout the United Kingdom
  • Disseminate knowledge about trees and their management
  • Act as a forum for organisations concerned with trees, to identify national problems and to provide initiatives for cooperation

Some of the following can be funded:

  • Trees: Native, UK-sourced and grown bare-root trees of an appropriate size for your project. Preferably to fund younger trees which will establish better, although they will fund trees up to ‘standard’ size (8-10 cm girth)
  • Hedging: Native, UK-sourced and grown, bareroot whips (saplings) and cell grown (root trainer) stock for hedging projects (40-120cm height)
  • Hedgerow trees: trees planted in hedgerows that are allowed to develop to full-size
  • Orchards: fruit trees on semi-vigorous, vigorous and very vigorous rootstocks
