The charity is giving away more than half a million trees to nurseries, pre-schools, brownies, girl guides and scouts, sports clubs and other community groups.
Start small with a hedge of holly or grow a small copse. If 30 trees seems too many you can share the trees with another nearby nursery or group, as long as you mention this in your application. If you apply for the trees now you will receive them for planting in the autumn.
The packs on offer come in three sizes: small (30 trees), medium (105 trees) or large (420 trees).
Schools are automatically eligible to apply for a small pack of 30 trees, for either a hedgerow or a small copse, but can also apply for a chance to receive a medium or large pack. The pack for the small hedge includes six each of hawthorn, hazel, holly, dog rose and dogwood. For the copse the pack includes ten each of wild cherry, silver birch and rowan trees.
