Free trees for London community groups

Do you know of a space in your neighbourhood that needs more trees?
As part of RE:LEAF, 100 FREE community tree packs are available now from the
Woodland Trust for groups to receive this autumn.

Trees are a vital part of healthy, thriving neighbourhoods. They keep our cities green and cool by introducing welcome shade and protective shelter. They help reduce the chance of flooding by slowing the speed at which water enters our drains and rivers. They attract and sustain wildlife, help screen buildings and transform neglected spaces into places where people want to be.
 
Designed for the shared spaces of your local area, tree packs are available in two
different sizes:
105 trees - ideal for planting as a hedge or copse
420 trees - ideal for planting on roughly an acre of land.
The trees are supplied as young saplings (approx 20 - 40 cm in height).

Each pack is also available in a variety of themes, to provide year-round colour, a wild harvest of edible treats, or to provide homes for native wildlife.

To find out more or apply for your free tree pack, see the Woodland Trust's website.
