Looking Forwards…
For the first time in months we are able to start planning and looking forward to the next tree planting season – we hope you are too!
We look forward to welcoming back our sponsors, volunteers, schools and supporters in November 2021 as we plant our 100,000th tree for the project.
We have scheduled our Friends and Family planting for March 2022 and we will update this page with further details about the site as soon as possible.
We thank you all for your patience and understanding and we hope you are keeping safe and well.
Remember, challenging times bring problems, but problems always nurture creativity thinking and creative thinking always brings solutions!
Thank you for your understanding and please continue to watch this space for more updates.

Our Projects
Our planting events take place during the winter, from mid-November to March each year, as this is the best time to plant trees, when they are dormant. We always involve local people, especially school children!
Corporate Sponsorship and Volunteering
You can sponsor tree planting and bring groups of staff to plant trees with BTFL – help the natural environment and have a fun team-building event!
You can plant trees with us!
‘Trees for Life’ can be planted in memory of a loved one, or to commemorate a special occasion like a birth or an anniversary, or to celebrate an event such as a wedding or graduation. Some people just want to make a contribution to their local environment and plant trees for fun.
Blog
Information about all our events, and lots of pictures, can be found on our blog – keep an eye out for the latest news!
