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 worked with North Somerset Council, Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bristol Water, Churchill School and Cleve Archers to help plant and establish 15.5ha of trees. We plan to support a further 330ha (500,000+ trees) over the next four planting seasons.
We offer free advice on Trees for Climate and the other tree planting grant schemes which are available and can help you develop proposals and secure Forestry Commission regulatory approvals.
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 works with grant advisors Anna Brunton and Jack McCrickard who bring a wealth of experience to their roles.
