The Tree Council works towards making trees matter to people by planting more trees of the right kind, in the right places and providing better care for the vital canopies that give us oxygen to breathe, store carbon and give life and shelter to the world’s wildlife. Learn about howwe helped in their mission to care for trees and our planet’s future. Whywe supported Our giving will help enable the planting of up to 3,333 trees or metres of hedgerows which will allowwildlife to thrive in communities across the country. Hedgerows are the largest wildlife habitat in the UK, providing a home for more than 2,000 species including dormice, hedgehogs and barbastelle bats. Working together for the love of trees
By tackling habitat loss, the cause of the decline inmany local species, we hope therewill be a brighter future for some of our preciouswildlife. But it’s not just the animals that will benefit - planting trees and hedgerowswill lead to reduced flooding for our communities and cleaner air for us to breathe!
“We are delighted to be partnering with Animal Friends to deliver this wonderful grant programme... Planting and caring for new trees and hedgerows across the UK is vital as we work together to address the climate and nature crises and it benefits us all. These carbon-guzzling, wildlife-boosting, flood-reducing wonders are good for us, for our wildlife and for our planet and we look forward to seeing the incredible new habitats this partnership will create.” Sara Lom | Chief Executive
