Kent Free Trees Scheme

Kent Free Trees Scheme

This scheme offers individuals and organisations up to 25 native trees each, free of charge. All you have to do is collect them, plant them and care for them as they grow.

It is easy to apply for your free trees, and make your personal contribution to Kent's natural environment. [READ MORE] 

Trees have a positive effect on the landscape and biodiversity of Kent's countryside. Planting trees also helps to reduce carbon emissions.

What are the trees like?

The trees are two-to-three year old 'whips', typically up to 1metre tall. They may be supplied bare-rooted. Twenty-five trees will easily pack into a bin bag and fit into the boot of a car.

How do I apply for my free trees?

The 2010 Free Trees Scheme launched mid-July, with a closing date for applications for trees at the end of October 2010. Look out for details in the press or on the Kent County Council website.
