Free Trees for Hinckley and Bosworth Residents

Added at 09:40 on 23 September 2022

Free trees and hedging available to order now

This year the council is giving away 27000 trees as part of our declared climate emergency. These trees will absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon over the next 40 years (assuming they all survive).

Community groups and parish councils can apply for up to 20 trees and up to 30 metres of hedging and we hope as many of you as possible will be able to join us and plant trees within your parishes and other community buildings  to both fight climate change and support wildlife.

The scheme launches on 26 September and you will need to be able to collect your trees on the weekend of 26/27 November. Full details can be found at Sign up for our scheme | Free tree scheme | Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council (hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk)

We recommend you order your trees as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as we expect demand to be high.

The scheme is also open to all residents who live in the Borough (who can have a maximum of 2 trees and 30m  of hedging) and we would be grateful if you could spread the news of this scheme to all your staff, residents and other interested parties.
