Launch Tree Tools for Schools
Everything you need to plan, plant and care for your free tree pack.
We want to make sure everybody in the UK has the chance to plant a tree. So we’re giving away hundreds of thousands of trees to schools and communities.
Applications for tree packs for schools and community groups are now closed for this season due to popular demand.
But don’t despair! Applications will be live again on 6 January for saplings to be delivered in November 2020, so keep your eyes peeled and get in quick.
If you can’t wait until then, you can buy trees in our shop all year round.
Make a natural screen or connect existing woodland to help wildlife stay on the move. You will get a variety of each species for 8 metres of full, easy to manage hedging.
For a longer length, our Wild Harvest, Year Round Colour, Wildlife, and Wild Wood packs also make great hedgerows and are available with 105 or 420 saplings.
Plant a mini forest school classroom or a peaceful spot that’s an oasis for birds. You will get 10 of each species for a small, tranquil copse.
Grow an array of fruits and nuts to produce your own jams, jellies, wines and more.
Enjoy beautiful blossoms, bright berries and stunning autumn displays.
Fuel a log burner in 7-10 years, or channel your creativity and learn to carve or weave willow.
These hardy native species can tolerate exposed sites and help dry up wet areas.
Establish food and shelter for wildlife and create a living legacy for future generations.
Easy to manage, this pack is designed for residential areas with limited communal space. If no shared space is available, applications to split between neighbouring front gardens to green up your street are considered. Tree packs for private use can be found in our shop.
Please note, species may vary from advertised.
All the trees we supply are sourced and grown in the UK and Ireland.
Our fantastic online resource has everything you need to plan, plant and care for your tree pack.
The activities include a planning tool, planting advice and interactive quizzes, and they're useful for community groups as well as schools.
And when you plant your tree pack your school will earn two points on our Green Tree Schools Award. (You can continue to apply for trees each season, but you will only receive points for this activity once).
Additional funding from DEFRA means we can also give away a further 100,000 trees a year until 2020 to eligible schools.
