Network Rail Community Tree Planting Fund

The Tree Council and Network Rail are working in partnership to support community tree planting. They are looking to support well-planned tree planting projects that will directly benefit people, communities and wildlife.

To be considered for a grant, a project must first meet all of the following core eligibility criteria:

• be in England, Scotland or Wales
• be not for profit
• plant in publicly accessible, publicly visible, or in community-used spaces to ensure broad benefit

Applications are welcome from:

• Charities & other NGOs
• Community groups

Grants of between £2,500 and £10,000 are available per application.

Projects must have clear community benefit and involvement, such as volunteering, education, or wellbeing initiatives and demonstrate improvements in biodiversity at the planting site.
