More than 10,000 trees are being planted this winter through the first season of our newly awarded Local Authority Treescapes Fund.
The community planting scheme is being rolled out across Devon this winter with the help of local not-for-profit social enterprise ParkLife South West.
This initiative is being carried out alongside the planting of 2,250 trees this season by landowners and communities who successfully applied to the Free Tree scheme.
It’s the third and final year that Devon County Council have received support for the scheme through the Emergency Tree Fund granted by The Woodland Trust.
Since the Council first piloted the Free Tree Scheme in 2019, and combining all of the tree planting initiatives, they have planted just over 48,200 trees in total as part of our ongoing efforts to meet our carbon net zero targets by 2030.
