Plant a lasting legacy on your land

Do you want to leave a positive lasting impact on your land by planting trees? If so, Trees for Climate will give you the tools to put down roots in your local area that will last for generations.

Your trees will stand as a positive legacy for a brighter future, a gift to the environment on behalf of you family. It will become a place for future generations to enjoy and a home for wildlife. And by planting trees, you will be making a clear sign that you’re playing your part in addressing our changing climate.

As well as grants that cover up to 100% of costs and 15 years of maintenance payments, the Greenwood Community Forest Team is here to provide expert advice and as much support as you need throughout the planning, funding, and planting process. You can use the funds to plant a new wooded area with just a handful of trees to dense forests. Get in touch today and transform your land with trees

The Trees for Climate programme led by England’s Community Forests is helping landowners to plant more trees. Greenwood Community Forest, hosted by Nottinghamshire County Council and supported by the Sherwood Forest Trust is delivering Trees for Climate in Nottinghamshire.
