The Tree Council has two opportunities for tree planting in local communities.

The Branching Out Fund assists schools and community groups proposing to undertake well-planned tree, orchard and hedge planting projects with grants of £300 to £1,500. There is no deadline for applications but applicants must ensure they can plan and execute their project, and claim the funding upon completion, by the end of March 2021.

The Tree Angel Orchards Fund is currently being developed but schools and community groups that work with young people, can register interest now. The campaign aims to plant and care for thousands of orchards or hedgerows around the UK, in towns, cities, villages and woodlands, to help mitigate climate change, enhance communities and create homes for wildlife.
