‘The Tree Council is encouraging all UK schools and community groups to plant trees by offering funding through two grant programmes- the ‘Trees for Schools’ and ‘Community Trees’ funds.

They are also offering funds for fruit tree planting in schools through the ‘Orchard Windfalls’ fund. The Tree Council are able to fund projects between £100 and £700 and successful applicants will receive up to 75% towards planting costs.

Applications for 2013 are now open, for more information visit: http://www.treecouncil.org.uk/grants/trees-for-schools
With the generous support of an anonymous donor The Tree Council have produced a teaching and learning resource, which will be sent out free of charge to all successful grant applicants.’
