Description

Grants are available to assist schools and community groups in undertaking well-planned tree planting projects across the UK, preferably during National Tree Week.

Maximum value: £ 1,500

Objectives of Fund

The funding is for tree- and hedge-planting projects (preferably taking place during National Tree Week), which involve children and young people aged up to 21, with the aim of working towards a greener future.

Value Notes
