Free trees

Shropshire Community Tree Scheme Picture

Shropshire Council are running a 'Community Tree Scheme' to get more trees planted in the county. 

The idea is that volunteer groups like ourselves and parish tree wardens, schools etc as well as farmers and private landowners can apply for native trees and shrubs free of charge.

 

How does it work?

It couldn’t be simpler. Just contact the Council and reserve your trees now.  They will then be made available for you to collect in the near future.

What is included?

The trees are usually small bare-rooted transplants, between 40 and 90cm tall. Rabbit spirals and bamboo canes can also be included to help protect them.

How many trees can I have?

Due to the popularity of the scheme, there is a maximum number of 100 trees per applicant.

How can I find out more?
