24 November - 2 December 2012
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? All events can be found on our events map. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year, for inspiration, you can look at past events. 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 don't forget to register your event, so that other people can come and join you!
The new 2012 poster will be available later in the year. You will be able to advertise your own event by downloading the 2012 National Tree Week poster for free. Use it on its own, or insert it into your own local poster that includes the time and place or a contact number, and put it up on local notice boards. Use it as many times as you like - it's free.
We also have a special National Tree Week 2012 image for use in your promotional material.
