28th November to 6th December is
National Tree Week and we’re already getting ready for it and excited!
National Tree Week is the UK's largest annual tree celebration, marking the start of the winter tree planting season (November to March each year). National Tree Week is a great chance for communities to do something positive for their local treescape. Each year, upward of a quarter of a million people to get their hands dirty and together plant trees… and this year we’d like to get you involved!
The Tree Council provides lots of guidance about planting trees, as well as ways to engage children in the process of planting. To start with they’ve produced a
handy COVID-19 aware tree planting guide, you’ll want to take a look at.
