Tree planting
LincWoods is our tree planting project. Lincolnshire has one of the lowest tree cover rates in the UK at just under 4% - compared to a national tree coverage rate of 13%. We are looking to work with landowners, farmers, businesses, parish councils and communities of Lincolnshire to support the planting of new:
- woodlands
- orchards
- hedgerows
- individual trees
We can offer free help and advice on tree species, protection, management, funding and grant options available on a site-specific basis. We are in partnership with Forestry Commission and the Woodland Trust, aiming to deliver as much appropriate planting as possible.
Together, we can benefit wildlife and local landscape and help to tackle climate change by planting the right trees, in the right places, for the right reasons.
There are grants available depending on the type of tree you are planting, including woodlands, orchards and hedgerows.
For further information please email us at LincWoods@lincolnshire.gov.uk.
