International Tree Foundation - UK Community Tree Planting Grants

Community organisations, schools, and local groups can now apply for grants to support tree planting, conservation, and engagement activities. The programme’s main funding stream, focused on woodlands and hedging, supports projects planting between 100 and 10,000 trees per year. Successful applicants can receive up to £2.05 per tree, which covers the cost of the tree, protection, and mulch. Additionally, two maintenance grants of £0.10 per tree are available, paid during the first and second summers after planting to help ensure young trees thrive. 

Projects must take place on public or publicly accessible land, such as parks, school grounds, rights of way, or community-managed spaces. Funding can be used for the purchase of native trees, traditional fruit trees, protective materials, and to support community planting events and educational initiatives.
