One Million Trees: Subsidised Trees & Busseys Community Tree Grant:
The ‘One Million Trees for Norfolk’ subsidised tree scheme is now open for any Norfolk resident to apply for tree packs (and tree protection) at up to 50% off the original price. As well as the usual range of tree packs available, this year, for the first time there are a limited number of single Norfolk Oak trees, grown at Gressenhall Community tree nursery. Those interested can apply for subsidised tree packs by visiting www.norfolk.gov.uk/subsidisedtreepacks
We are once again partnering with Busseys (a local family run car dealership), to launch the Busseys Community Tree Grant. This initiative offers £10,000 in funding to support tree planting projects across Norfolk. Schools, charities, Parish Councils, and community groups can apply for grants of up to £2,500 to plant trees that provide tangible benefits to their local area. The grant is open to any organisation in Norfolk with suitable land and the necessary permissions for planting. More information on how to apply, the application process, and deadlines visit www.norfolk.gov.uk/busseyscommunitygrant
We have continued our partnership with the Norfolk Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group to offer free advice on grant applications to landowners who wish to plant more the 0.5ha of woodland (Woodland creation).
We also continue to encourage residents to ‘Tell Us Where You Planted‘ by letting us know online if they have planted a tree – so they can be part of Norfolk’s 1 million Trees story.
