The Community Grant Scheme provides grants to projects that deliver community benefits to schools, open spaces and woodlands in Greater London. The Forestry Commission and Groundwork London are continuing to support community groups to apply for grants so that they can improve their local treescape, with the aim of facilitating the planting of a record 17,500 trees in London in 2009-2010, up on last year’s 9000.
Groups can apply for a grant from The Forestry Commission’s London Tree and Woodland Community Grant Scheme from April 2010. For further information please visit the website.
The Mayor's Street Tree ProgrammeAdditionally, Groundwork London is also managing The Mayor’s Street Tree Programme. The Mayor of London has committed to funding an expansion of the Forestry Commission's London Tree and Woodland Grant Scheme, as part of his goal to make London a greener city. This will provide 10,000 street trees over the next four years in 40 areas across London that often have no street trees at all.
