Busseys Community Tree Grant for Norfolk
About Busseys community tree grant for Norfolk
The Busseys family, a well-known business leader in Norfolk, has partnered with us to deliver a grant to support tree planting across Norfolk. In this first year, Busseys is providing £10,000 to support anyone in Norfolk looking to plant trees that deliver a community benefit. The maximum grant per application is £2,500.
The Busseys community tree grant contributes towards the Council's net zero target. It will enhance valuable green space for local people to enjoy. New woodland and trees outside of woodland will help to improve nature recovery, providing multiple ecosystem services such as health and wellbeing, clean air, and food.
Busseys launched their first tree planting initiative in 2007 by offering to plant a tree for every customer who bought a car from them. Since then they have been involved in many tree planting schemes. Learn more about Busseys tree initiatives.
There is an application process for this scheme to ensure:
- Planting is in the right place to maximise the trees survival
- The right land permissions are in place
- Planting provides benefits to the local community
Anyone in Norfolk can apply provided you meet the grant criteria.
