The Tree Council , the lead tree campaigning charity working to promote the importance of trees within the changing environment has announced that its Trees for Communities and Trees for Schools grant making programmes are now open for applications.
Funds are available for schools and community groups within the UK who
are able to show that children under the age of 16 will be actively
engaged in the planting projects.
The Tree Council are able to fund
projects between £100 and £700 and successful applicants will receive
up to 75% towards their planting costs. For example, if your project
totals £700, The Tree Council would offer up to £525. The remaining 25%
will need to be secured by your school or organisation.

interested in applying for next year, the 2010 application forms for
schools and community groups will be available to download after
National Tree Week (25 November 2009 to 6 December 2009) with a closing
