The NHS Forest will work with partners to plant 65,000 trees as part of the new national tree planting campaign.

The Coalition Government have today announced a new national tree planting campaign The Big Tree Plant, launched as part of the Tree Council’s National Tree Week (27 November – 5 December 2010). 

The Big Tree Plant will be led by Defra and the Forestry Commission and supported by organisations including The Conservation Volunteers, the Woodland TrustEngland’s Community Forests, the Tree CouncilTrees for Cities and the NHS Forest. 

The Big Tree Plant will seek to support community groups and improve quality of life through the provision of more green space and therefore shares the key principles of the NHS Forest.

We hope at least 25 hospitals will join us by March 2011 to plant trees across the UK.
