Trees for Climate should be your first stop to fund tree & woodland planting in Avon/ West of England.
Applications are assessed on value for money and contribution to Community Forest objectives including landscape enhancement; biodiversity; climate and catchment management; and sustainable timber production.
In 20.21 the Forest of Avon Trust is working with North Somerset Council, Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bristol Water, Churchill School and Cleve Archers to help plant and establish 17ha of trees. We plan to deliver a further 330ha (500,000+ trees) in the next four planting seasons.
We can offer free impartial advice on Trees for Climate and the other tree planting grant schemes which are available. including the, Woodland Carbon Fund (large-scale productive forestry) and the Woodland Carbon Guarantee, where carbon sequestration is an objective and can be added to both the above schemes.
The advisory team is lead by Jon Clark who has worked at a senior level in community forestry for 30 years. Over this time Jon has worked closely with farmers & landowners to plant farm woodlands, meeting a wide-range of objectives. Jon is also a Chartered Landscape Architect and Town Planner. Jon works with Anna Brunton, another skilled and experienced advisor.
