The main aim of The Big Tree Plant funding scheme is to encourage and support community groups to plant trees in neighbourhoods where people live and work. The scheme can fund work such as community involvement, site surveys and expert advice as well as trees, planting materials, labour, and tree care and maintenance.
The Big Tree Plant funding scheme will give £4 million in grants during the campaign (2011 to 2015). We want this to pay for the planting of at least one million trees in a mixture of street trees, small groups of trees in greenspaces, and other neighbourhood tree planting.

The Big Tree Plant funding scheme is provided by the Forestry Commission as part of its contribution to the Defra led partnership. It is part of our wider work to get more tree planting and more tree care in England, see www.forestry.gov.uk/england-wctf for other work we are doing on this.
