Tree Council Grants - Trees for Schools/Community Trees

The Tree Council's two grants programmes, the 'Trees for Schools' and 'Community Trees' funds are available for schools and community groups within the UK who are able to show that children under the age of 16 will be actively engaged in the planting projects. The Tree Council's National Tree Week (this year from 26 November to 7 December) is the focus for these projects and successful applicants organise their planting events in conjunction with our annual celebration of the new tree planting season.

They are able to fund projects between £100 and £700 and successful applicants will receive up to 75% towards their planting costs. For example, if your project totals £700, The Tree Council would offer up to £525. The remaining 25% will need to be secured by your school or organisation.
If you are interested in applying in time for National Tree Week in 2008, you can download an application from their website or contact them for more information.

This grant is open to community groups, both formal and ad hoc, within the United Kingdom. Please ensure that children aged up to sixteen are included in the planting project.

The closing date for applications is 31st May 2008.

The Grants Committee have now revised their guidelines in relation to the funding of fruit trees. Guidance notes and application forms can be downloaded from their website.
