Working together for the love of trees

The Tree Council is a small but influential charity and umbrella body. For 50 years we have been bringing everyone together with a shared mission to care for trees and our planet’s future.

We inspire and empower organisations, government, communities and individuals with the knowledge and tools to create positive, lasting change at a national and local level.

We support people to plant and care for trees – the trees in your city street, your local park or school playground, in orchards and hedgerows and rural pastures around the UK.

Our work includes:

  • Support for our thousands of volunteer Tree Wardens who help plant and establish trees in communities across the UK
  • ‘National Tree Week’ every November to celebrate the start of the winter planting season and connect people with the natural world
  • A National Schools Programme inspiring young people to be a ForceForNature and learn, share and connect with the power of trees
  • A grants programme that helps schools and community groups fulfil their vision to plant trees, orchards and hedgerows
  • Science and social research, always leading to practical action, in partnership with Defra, Forestry Commission, Fera Science and leading universities.

By leaving a legacy gift in your Will you will be supporting our work planting new trees, orchards and hedgerows with local communities, that will connect people with nature, enhance the environment and create important wildlife habitats for generations to come.

Thank you.
