UK Community Tree Planting Grants
Every year ITF supports UK community groups to achieve their tree-planting ambitions.
Over the summer we issue a ‘call for proposals’ inviting people to send us their ideas. And we’d love to hear from you and your community group too!
Your idea could be something small, such as community woodland or orchard. Or it could be a larger scale project such as landscape restoration or rewilding. We’re open to all sorts of ideas and project types so please get in touch!
Applications for the 23/24 season are now closed
Please check again in the spring!
What we provide
ITF provides financial support for community tree planting projects, equivalent to £1.75 per tree. In addition, we provide expert consultation and advice for projects that need it. This may include help with project design, species selection, ground preparation, and so on.
We are keen tree-loving people here and are always happy to chat through your idea over the phone.
Funding intentions
This funding is about people and communities as much as it is trees. We want these trees to be owned by the local communities that plant them.
In this light, all our UK projects take place on public or publicly-accessible land. This can be common land and public parks but can also be private land that is being used for a social purpose, or private land with permissive access/rights of way.
This means that the communities who plant these trees will be able to go back and watch as these trees grow and change with the seasons. We want this process of planting a tree and witnessing its growth over the years to be one that everyone has the chance to experience.
