National Tree Week

25 November - 6 December 2009

First mounted in 1975, National Tree Week is UK's largest tree celebration annually launching the start of the winter tree planting season.

National Tree Week is a great chance for communities to do something positive for their local treescape. Each year, Tree Council member organisations such as voluntary bodies and local authorities, up to 200 schools and community groups, our 8,000 Tree Wardens and many others, support the initiative by setting up fun, worthwhile and accessible events, inspiring upward of a quarter of a million people to get their hands dirty and together plant around million trees.

Do you want to be part of this great collective achievement? Please go to the events list to find out about the kind of  activities taking place in your area. If you're interested in organising your own event, read further to get some useful tips on how to organise successful tree planting activities and to register your event, so that other people can come and join you!

Don't forget that you can advertise your own event by downloading the poster for 2009, writing in the time and place or a contact number, and putting it up on local notice boards.  Download as many as you like - it's free.
