The sixth and final round of funding for a national campaign that aims to plant one million trees by 2015 has opened and organisations have until 30 August 2013 to apply.
The Big Tree Plant encourages people and communities to plant more trees in England’s towns, cities and neighbourhoods. Funding is available to any community and voluntary group, or other non-profit organisations that are keen to establish a community-led tree planting project.
Groups working in deprived areas where trees would help to improve residents’ quality of life are strongly encouraged to apply. The advice phone line is 0800 856 7984.
