Branching Out Fund

The Branching Out Fund provides small grants to support community tree planting across the UK. Over the past 20 years, The Tree Council has supported community groups, volunteer Tree Wardens and many others to plant hundreds of thousands of trees across the UK, thanks to generous Tree Partners and other supporters. The fund is designed for community groups, schools, not-for-profits, residents associations, Tree Warden Networks, charities and many more. Grants are paid after planting has taken place, upon submission of a claim form, receipts and evidence of planting. All projects must have planted and submitted a claim form before midnight on Sunday 15 March 2026. This fund supports a new season of community tree planting in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
