Busseys Community Tree Grant for Norfolk

Planting trees using good practice methods gives them a greater chance of surviving and thriving. For example, by avoiding damaging delicate roots or planting too deep.

The following websites have planting guidance:

• Woodland Trust's guide on how to plant a tree - contains images and videos to help you with your tree planting
• The Tree Council's planting guidance
• Forestry Commission's urban tree planting manual

Aftercare

Without care, many newly planted trees will die in their early years after planting. Read 8 tree care tips for young trees on The Tree Council Website.

Tell us on the application form about your aftercare plans to ensure a higher proportion of the trees survive and remain healthy long-term. Include any plans for watering and monitoring plants, and who will be in charge of it.

We will not be able to fund projects that do not explain how trees will be maintained in the future.
