Grant News

Schools, community groups, parish and town councils, and tree warden networks within the UK can apply for grants of between £300 and £1,500 to get children and young people up to the age of 21 involved in planting trees, hedges and orchards to enhance wildlife and biodiversity.

The Tree Council’s Trees and Hedgerows for Wildlife & Biodiversity Fund will support projects which benefit local animals and insects, or are situated in a location where animals are cared for, such as charitable rescue centres and city farms.

The fund will cover the costs of trees, hedges and fruit trees, reasonable costs of non-plastic protection and supports and other aids to establishment, such as peat-free compost and/or soil improvers.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 17th December 2021, but early applications are encouraged to ensure stock availability.
