Tree planting
LincWoods is our tree planting project. Lincolnshire has one of the lowest tree cover rates in the UK at just under 4% - compared to a national tree coverage rate of 13%. We are looking to work with landowners, farmers, businesses, parish councils and communities of Lincolnshire to support the planting of new:
- woodlands
- orchards
- hedgerows
- individual trees
We can offer free help and advice on tree species, protection, management, funding and grant options available on a site-specific basis. We are in partnership with Forestry Commission and the Woodland Trust, aiming to deliver as much appropriate planting as possible.
If you are planting a single tree in your back garden or planting hundreds of trees around a farm, you can register the trees using the tree planting form. They will all be counted towards the countywide tree planting ambition. You can play a part, whatever the size of your planting project. The map shows where all of the trees registered so far have been planted.
Together, we can benefit wildlife and local landscape and help to tackle climate change by planting the right trees, in the right places, for the right reasons.
There are grants available depending on the type of tree you are planting, including woodlands, orchards and hedgerows.
