The Woodland Trust is giving away 250 free community tree planting packs this autumn:
Woodland Trust community tree planting packs are designed to help community groups to plant more trees, hedges and copses in their local shared spaces – by a church, community centre or playground for example, or on patches of land that are currently unused. Packs can be separated and planted in small copses to best fit the public areas in your neighbourhood.
The packs come in two sizes (105 or 420 trees) and four different flavours:
- Year round colour (Field Maple, Hawthorn, Hazel, Birch, Rowan, Cherry and Dogwood)
- Growing wood for fuel (Ash, Birch, Cherry, Oak and Rowan)
- Encouraging wildlife (Hawthorn, Hazel, Birch, Rowan, Oak and Blackthorn)
- Jams, jellies, chutneys and cordials (Hazel, Blackthorn, Crab Apple, Elder and Dog Rose)
They’re taking applications for the free packs now so get cracking!
