Why plant trees?
Whatever your reason for planting, trees have far-reaching benefits for all of us.
If you’re looking to plant lots of trees, we have the trees, grants and funding schemes to help. Our expert advisers can help you put the right trees in the right place to achieve your goals.
Planting a single tree has benefits for people, wildlife and the environment. Those benefits vastly increase when planting a whole woodland.
If you manage a farm or private land, integrating trees can bring huge benefits – and there’s no need to take large areas out of production. They can help increase biodiversity, provide shelter, prevent soil erosion, reduce flooding and much more.
For schools, communities and neighbourhoods, trees make our surroundings happier, healthier places to be.
Please note: we're currently experiencing technical difficulties. If you have an urgent delivery issue, please contact the nursery delivering your trees directly. You should have received an email from them about a week before your delivery date.
