Free trees for schools and communities

Applications for the Woodland Trust tree giveaway will open on the 13th January 2026.

Who can apply?
Any educational establishment and all kinds of local authorities and not-for-profit community groups, including resident associations, sports clubs, local councils, faith groups, scouts, guides and many more.

Why should you apply?
Trees keep us cool in summer, clean our air and help reduce flooding. They encourage more wildlife with food and shelter, boost our physical and mental health, and help fight climate change too.

The packs come in eight different species mixes of 15, 30, 105 or 420 saplings to accommodate every project and give everyone chance to plant a tree. Whether you’re growing an outdoor classroom, sheltering a sports pitch or transforming your neighbourhood, get involved and make a real difference for people and nature where you live, work or play.
