We know it’s early in the year to be thinking about tree planting, but our Tree Scheme is soon going to be opening its doors for business once again. The scheme will open on Monday 4th August 2014.
We are running the Tree Scheme on a first come – first served basis. This means that applicants who meet the criteria will be awarded all the trees and hedging transplants they request, subject to availability and the maximum allowable limit of 100 trees and 60 hedging transplants per application. Once the total number of available trees has been reached we will close the scheme.
This means that you will need to get your application in good and early to stand the best chance of success.
Once again, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors Maelor Forest Nurseries, we can offer the opportunity to purchase additional trees over and above the free ones (the ‘top-up’ option), at favourable wholesale prices, plus a small administration and handling charge.
Full details of the Community Tree Scheme and the ‘top-up’ option can be found through the Shropshire Council website, once the scheme opens. Feel free to contact the Tree Team for more information and advice; email: natural.environment@shropshire.gov.uk or tel: 01743 252564.
