Community Tree Planting

Community Tree Planting, United Kingdom

This programme enables UK communities to plant native trees in their local public spaces. At just 13%, the UK currently has one of the lowest rates of tree cover in Europe. Working across the UK, this project will increase tree cover, absorb carbon from the atmosphere, and provide vital habitat for local wildlife. It will also provide a vital community link - therefore encouraging both biodiversity and local communities to flourish once more.

So nice to get out to Northern Ireland and to visit past projects. These Alder trees just love the wet weather and are really thriving!

The trees are really thriving. One of the best parts of my job is going back to past projects and seeing the trees that were planted a few years ago.
Yesterday we went over to the Blue Cross in Burford, Oxfordshire to monitor the trees planted in 2022.

Now they've spent the

On the Lowther Estate in the Lake District, you can clearly see the effect of centuries of deforestation. A few years ago, there were no trees in this huge field!

Today were are seeing trees are being planted alongside a naturalised river. The river is being left to re-establish

Fantastic to visit the Lowther Estate in the Lake District and see the newly planted trees kindly supported by Tree Nation. After centuries of settlement and agriculture, this area has been largely deforested, with dramatic declines in wildlife populations.

An overview of our planting project on the Isle of Arran. This is a community-farm, that produces organic food for local people to buy. Scottish islands are very dependent on imports and this can be very expensive, as well as disconnecting people from the food system.

Great to get some trees planted on the Isle of Arran. This is a very windy place!

Here local schoolchildren are helping plant shelterbelts at the very southern point of the island, providing shelter for organic food production as well as fantastic habitat for wildlife.

Great to go and visit this project at Black Cap, East Sussex. This is an extraordinary landscape, right on the South Downs escarpment.

This project is all about connecting up patches of woodland. As you can see from the map above, we have planted out 40 metres from the hedgerows

Fantastic to see photos of our tree planting partners in Surrey at the new headquarters for Wildlife Aid. These local community volunteers are braving the cold weather and the fading light to create a woodland copse on the banks of the River Mole.

Very happy to have visited the Govan Wetlands last week and to see the fabulous restoration work going on there. This is a wider regeneration of the old drydocks site in the centre of Glasgow that has laid desolate for decades. We are supporting the planting of thousands of trees
