Tree Planting Projects

Our planting events take place during the winter, as this is the best time to plant trees, when they are dormant.

Since the winter of 2006/07, our first planting season, Birmingham Trees for Life has planted over 25,000 trees in parks and open spaces right across the city. Click here for a map of last winter's plantings .

Next Business Sponsors Planting Event

If you would like to join other Birmingham companies in planting a 'Tree for Life' we would love to see you there.  Our next business sponsors' planting event will be in the winter of 2013-14, probably in March 2014.  You can find out more information and download a sponsorship form from the business sponsors' page.

For more information and for a copy of the sponsorship form, please click here.

Next Individual Sponsors Planting Event

Our most recent planting event for individual and family sponsors took place in April 2013, at Woodgate Valley Country Park, Bartley Green.  The next one is likely to be in March 2014.  If you would like to sponsor a tree in commemoration of a special event, or to remember a loved one, just download the sponsorship form and send it to us with your payment.  We'd be delighted if you would like to join us!

Planting projects winter 2012-13

All our planting events for 2012-13 season are now completed, including those which had to be postponed due to the snow at the end of March.  Take a look at our Blog and Past Projects pages to find out when and where planting is taking place, as well as to see brief reports on, and photos from, the events.

Trees can be planted for all sorts of reasons - to replace those lost due to disease or old age, to create new natural habitats, create shade near seats or playgrounds, extend existing woodland, or line paths or cycleways - just some examples of how we can use trees in an urban setting.

 Over the summer months we will be planning our sites and projects for next winter - if you know of a park or public open space near you that needs trees - get in touch!
