Please see below from Shropshire Council:
I am happy to let you know that Shropshire Council is opening a subsidised Community Tree Scheme for planting during the coming season (Autumn / Winter 2023-2024).
As per our previous tree schemes, we will only be able to provide trees in multiples of prearranged bundles of 20, rather than offering applicants total freedom of tree species choices and numbers. Successful applicants must be able to collect their trees directly from either of the two places helping us – Prees Heath Forest Nursery in the north of the county or John Holliday (formerly Potters Farm Tree Nursery) at Lower Hayton in the south.
To extend our funding as far as we can and get as many trees planted as possible, this year residents, landowners, farmers, community groups, businesses and charities can apply for trees that are subsidised by 50% by Shropshire Council. The applicant is responsible for paying the remaining 50%.
We have chosen mixes of native trees suited for different planting sites in Shropshire, including:
A lowland woodland mix
An upland woodland mix
A wet ground woodland mix
A native hedgerow mix
The mixes above are available in bundles of 20 trees and will cost £20.40 per bundle (half-price), including a bamboo cane and spiral tree guard.
There is no limit to the number of trees or hedgerow plants that you can order, and trees will be supplied on very much a first come first served basis.
For more information and to apply for your trees, please see our website: www.shropshire.gov.uk/ShropshireCouncilTreeScheme
