Greening goals with free trees

The Woodland Trust give away hundreds of thousands of free tree packs to schools and communities every year.

These free trees make a huge difference to people and their communities. They're generously funded by our lead partners Sainsbury's , Lloyds Banking Group , OVO and Sofology .

We want to make sure everybody in the UK has a chance to plant a tree. And we believe that everyone deserves equal access to trees and the benefits of green spaces - this is what we call tree equity.

Watch our film and meet the students and teachers of Charborough Road Primary School in Filton, a few miles north of Bristol. Current tree canopy cover there is 9%, making it the lowest-scoring LSOA in South Gloucestershire with a Tree Equity score of just 57. Anything below 70 out of 100 is a priority area for increasing tree canopy cover. The school is making big changes to their school spaces thanks to our free tree packs.

It's no secret that woods and trees are good for people's health and wellbeing, particularly in our towns and cities. But urban trees and woods aren't distributed equally, and the communities that could most benefit are losing out. Our Tree Equity Score tool can help identify the areas in greatest need. Find out more about tree equity.

If you know a school or community group that could benefit from free trees, particularly if their tree equity score is low, share this link with them to APPLY NOW! Applications for November 2024 delivery are expected to close in August.??
