Sun finally shines on 2013 Sponsors' Planting! The sun came out for our re-scheduled sponsors' planting event, which was postponed due to snow in March. See Blog for more details.

Business Sponsorship

Your company can help to improve the environment in which your employees work and live, and create a lasting legacy for future generations of Birmingham business people and their children. You can make a positive contribution in the fight against climate change and help to compensate for any negative impact your company’s activities might have on the local environment. Your business can be seen to be a responsible and caring participant in the community, by helping to create or replace woodland, or by working with local people to improve their green spaces.

If your business would like to help to create a new Community Woodland and participate in a tree planting event, you can do so from as little as £250.

Donations of up to £1000 contribute to the planting of new woodland in one of Birmingham’s parks or open spaces. By planting a ‘Tree for Life’, your company will:

• Have the opportunity for a group of staff to attend a winter tree planting event* in Birmingham, where the team can don their wellies and enjoy a hands-on experience creating a lasting legacy in an urban green space.
• Have photographs taken, with your company logo, of your contribution at the event, for PR purposes, internal newsletters etc.
• Receive a commemorative plaque for display in your building to mark your support.

For each £250 given, one semi-mature tree and a number of saplings can be planted, by up to 10 members of staff.

If you would like to ‘Plant a Tree for Life’ please download the sponsorship form and complete and return it with your cheque to the address on our contact page.

Levels of Business Sponsorship available

Bronze: Donations of up to £1000

Contribute to the planting of a new Community Woodland, including one semi-mature tree and a number of saplings for each £250 given.
This offers opportunities for both team building and PR, with photographs, a commemorative plaque, and a great way to get staff to work together to contribute to their local environment.

Silver: £1,000 to £1,999

Our Silver sponsors can contribute to a project, such as the planting of trees in a specific local area, perhaps to celebrate a company milestone or achievement.

Gold: £2,000 to £4,999

Gold sponsors can select a specific project that they would like to champion, such as the creation of a small woodland in a chosen locality or even an environmental project working with a local school or community.

Platinum: £5,000 or more

This enables BTFL to work with the Platinum sponsor to develop a bespoke project proposal which can be tailored where possible to the company’s own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives.

Foundation

Foundation Sponsors are those companies who make a regular annual donation to Birmingham Trees for Life to achieve an ongoing improvement in the city’s green environment.

Existing and past Business sponsors include:

nPower, Calthorpe Estates, Spar and Birmingham International Airport. A full list of our Business sponsors and the projects they have contributed to can be found on the Business Sponsors page of this site.

 

* At the planting event, your semi-mature tree is already placed in its planting hole; your staff just need to fill the hole with soil. Spades are provided! Help will be on hand for those who need it; all you need to bring is enthusiasm, wellies and warm clothes!
