FREE TREES TO SUPPORT A GREENER COMMUNITY

Richmond Council is giving away ONE THOUSAND trees following last year’s successful tree giveaway to residents, schools, and community groups to plant across the borough.

The free trees can be planted in private gardens or land and are offered free by our specialist tree contractors.

There are 1,000 free trees to giveaway and they will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can register online for a free tree, or call 020 8891 1411.

Collection points will be available at Kneller Gardens in February and at Old Deer Park in March.

Species to choose from include Acer tataricum ‘Ginnala’, Betula papyrifera, Prunus cerasifera, Tamarix ramosissima, and Taxus baccata.

You can find out more about the giveaway and register.

If you want to get involved but don’t have a space to plant a tree, why not consider helping with watering young street trees, and joining the Friends of Street Trees initiative?
