Grant News
Schools, clubs and community groups across the UK are being offered free tree packs through the Woodland Trust's "Free Trees for Schools & Community Groups" initiative - designed to boost both nature and wellbeing.
Any not-for-profit organisation — including schools, sports clubs, faith groups, Scouts and Guides, local councils and resident associations — is eligible to apply.
The packs are available in sizes of 15, 30, 105 or 420 saplings, sourced and grown in the UK and Ireland, and come in a variety of species mixes. The Trust currently accepts applications for delivery in March 2026, with an expected January 2026 deadline for submissions.
Applicants will receive guidance on site preparation, planting, and aftercare; however, the tree packs do not include protections for the young saplings. Permission from the landowner and a six-digit grid reference of the planting site are required.
The scheme, funded by partners including Sainsbury’s, Lloyds Banking Group and Simplyhealth, aims to help green outdoor spaces, fight climate change, reduce flooding and enhance wildlife.
