National Tree Week is nearly here. This year it falls between 23 November and 1 December. This is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration and we have some special things planned.
As well as a week of blogs filled with useful tips and case studies, we will be launching our fantastic new Trees and Woodlands training module with a free online taster session planned for 28th November – book your place through Evenbrite. We will also be offering the opportunity for people to join a webinar all about tree planting across the NHS estate. Keep an eye on our social media channels for more events and blogs.
If you are planning a tree planting event in time for Tree Week, don’t forget to order your trees before 1 November. We have a new range of different schemes this year for all sorts of sites and projects with a wider choice of species including fruit trees.
