The Tree Council and Network Rail are working in partnership to deliver a programme of community tree planting for the 2023/24 tree planting season. Projects should demonstrate how they meet this year's theme of 'Trees & People'. They are looking for well planned and sustainable tree planting schemes that will directly benefit people and communities.
Priorities for 2023/24 include:
- Projects with strong community involvement in their design and delivery
- The involvement of community volunteers in planting
- Projects located close to communities: villages, towns, cities, urban areas, close to public open spaces or public rights of way
- Projects that demonstrate robust establishment and aftercare plans, to give trees the best chance of successful establishment
- Projects that will achieve a biodiversity net gain on completion
- Proposals from partnerships or consortiums
- Projects involving the younger generation that demonstrate an element of
- River/riparian themed projects including flood prevention or SUDS in urban communities
Criteria and guidelines vary depending on whether you are applying for a Main, Large or Flagship grant. See the Tree Council website to view the full guidelines.
Who can apply?
Applications are welcome from schools, constituted groups, residents associations, nurseries and care homes, community interest companies (CICs), as well as registered charities. They prefer to fund smaller local charities, however they will consider larger regional or national charities if certain criteria are met. Please get in touch with the Tree Council if you are a larger charity and wish to apply.
Groups must have a bank account registered in the name of the applicant organisation, into which the grant can be paid.
Whilst they will fund projects in other locations, they are particularly interested in receiving applications from groups in Glasgow.
