How about £100?
Grant scheme encourages groups to get out and plant trees
There are a lot of things you can do with a hundred pounds: go to a theme park for the day, have a great meal, go on a shopping spree. Now the Woodland Trust, the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, is helping people get outdoors and make a difference to their local environment: If you set up a tree-planting event within your local community, the Trust is offering a grant of up to £100 towards the costs of the event.
The grant scheme is open to any community group with a constitution and will allow groups across the country to join in Tree For All. All you have to do is to register your group’s planting event on this website by 29 October to apply for your grant. The grants can be used towards any part of the event – from trees and spades to catering.
Tree For All is the largest children’s tree planting initiative the UK has ever seen and aims to inspire a generation that has become disconnected from nature. During the five year campaign 12 million trees will be planted – one for every child under 16 in the UK – with the help of a million children planting trees throughout the campaign.
For more information about how to get involved, and get ready for Tree For All weekend that runs from the 18th-23rd November, explore this website or call 0845 108 1428 (calls charged at local rate).
