All tree donations gratefully accepted, if you have a tree you don't know what to do with in a pot.
There are a number of organizations that will supply trees for free, they need to know roughly where they will be planted and some evidence that it has happened, if you can find space to plant them (including hedgerows) on your land, please let me know.
Trees can be purchased and planted privately as part of the total.
I and others will help with the planting of trees on public or publicly accessible land.
Late November to late March is the best time to plant trees, preferably before they start to stir in the spring.
