Trees for Gloucestershire

Trees for Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire’s tree strategy imagines “a thriving network of sustainably managed trees and woodlands covering at least 20% of the county, delivering resilience and connectivity for people, wildlife and the economy.” You can be a part of delivering this for the county and for the future.

Newly planted trees require ongoing care to ensure they establish successfully. We provide regular aftercare during the first few years after planting, including health inspections, watering and maintenance works. Where appropriate, we work with volunteers, community groups and specialist contractors to help keep trees healthy and thriving for future generations.

The council has committed to planting 1 million trees and is now looking for landowners to come forward and offer land to plant over the course of the project. This land must be right for tree planting. We have funding to plant trees in urban areas and to extend existing woodlands. If you are interested in any of the schemes below please complete our expression of interest form. 

The following funding schemes are available:

Woodland Trust - The Woodland Trust provides trees for schools and community groups in bundles of 50.

National Highways Community Trees Programme - The Tree Council – The Tree Council are helping National Highways plant hundreds of thousands of trees by 2030, working with communities across England. The initiative demonstrates how low carbon initiatives can benefit both nature and communities.
