Subsidised Tree Scheme 2023

Information from Shropshire Council

Further to our earlier free tree scheme, a new subsidised tree scheme for the 2022/23 planting season has just opened. If you are interested, residents, landowners, farmers, community groups, businesses and charities can apply for trees that are subsidised at a 50% cost by HM Treasury and 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 £15 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 orders, 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:
