Free Trees!!
The role of woods and trees in the fight against climate change is so very important. The benefits of trees in the fight against climate change are now well understood.
They
· lock up carbon
· reduce pollution and flooding
· support people, wildlife and farming in adapting to the climate crisis.
But we need more of them. If the UK is to reach its carbon neutral target by 2050, the Committee on Climate Change has recommended an increase in woodland cover from 13% to 19%.

Free Trees for Schools
​
Orchards for Schools is our popular grant programme for UK schools that provides a free pack of fruit-bearing, wildlife-enhancing, carbon-storing orchard or fruiting hedgerow for your school!
Schools that are successful in their application will receive their orchard and/or hedgerow pack, an engaging set of supporting resources and training, designed by experts and teachers, that are linked to the national curriculum.
This project has been made possible thanks to our Orchard for Schools major donors, together with donations from our supporters.
