Planting and establishing the right trees in the right place, alongside other crucial habitats, brings many benefits; enriching people’s lives and livelihoods, helping nature flourish, increasing climate resilience, and rekindling hope.  

There are so many great reasons to establish trees. To boost people’s health and wellbeing, support resilient and sustainable food production, enhance soil fertility and nutrient cycles, provide timber and wood products, bring communities together, create spaces for play and learning, improve air quality, make places look attractive, connect with our culture and heritage, link up habitats for wildlife, capture and store carbon, reduce urban heat stress, improve water quality, reduce flooding, and bring hope. The list goes on.

We can provide free advice and funding to help you to plant and establish trees and woods, alongside other crucial habitats.  

Our advice is tailored to whether you are the landowner from a community group
, or a local school. We can also support a wide range of projects – from small to large scale, urban to rural, natural regeneration to planting, and including hedgerows, trees, woods and other habitats.

Our local woodland advisors can support you through the application, planning, funding and planting stage and provide advice about ongoing maintenance.
