Grants For Tr££s - downloadable information from the RFS

The latest edition of Grants for Tr££s is now available in PDF format, for downloading via the RFS website. Covering a wide-range of sources of funding and advice, this publication will be of use to anyone who is considering creating or improving woodlands.

The trees can be singles, lines or groups, or in woods or forests. The help may be grants, loans, sponsorship, volunteer labour or advice, from government sources, trust funds and charities or businesses. The purpose of tree planting can be anything from commerce to conservation, from landscaping to economic regeneration and rural development. The place of planting can be city centre, countryside or urban fringe. The people who may want help with planting could be just about anyone... because trees can benefit just about everyone.

The first ever Grants for Tr££s booklet was compiled by Roy Lorraine-Smith back in 1989 and published by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council. That ran to three editions. Subsequently, editions four to eight were compiled by the Royal Forestry Society.

This present edition, available as a PDF, is a slimmed down version. Download a free copy via www.rfs.org.uk/about/grants-for-trees
