Getting started

All fields are required unless indicated as optional..

Applications are now being taken for planting new woodland over 0.5ha between November 2026 and March 2027.

Want to ask us something about our planting schemes? Please call us on 0330 333 5303.

Please note: All our subsidised or free products have defined eligibility criteria; should you not meet those, or we consider the product to be otherwise unsuitable, we will offer the most appropriate product available. We will share your details with our nursery partners, contractors, couriers, sponsors and any other third parties involved directly in the funding or delivery of your Woodland Trust trees.

Applicants are for the UK only. Applications can be from both members and non-members of the Woodland Trust. The following information is required before you can start your application.

Condition of planning permission
While we cannot supply trees for planting as a condition of planning permission, we may be able to offer advice. Please contact us for help or to discuss applications which go beyond the planning stipulations.

Agricultural grants

Please note that land entered into our woodland creation schemes may affect eligibility for direct agricultural land payments, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), and some other grants, depending on the scheme and how the land is used. If this could be a concern for you, we recommend seeking advice before progressing your application. To find out more, or to discuss how the right trees in the right places could help offset changes to farm support income, please call 0330 333 5303.
