Tree Week is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration, marking the start of the winter tree planting season (November to March). It aims to raise awareness of how we can all help to increase tree cover in the UK.
Trees are essential for the health of our environment and provide clean air, food, shelter for wildlife as well as helping to prevent flooding and soil erosion.
Tree Week 2025 – 22 November to 30 November
This year, once again we are giving away vouchers worth £20 as a contribution towards buying a tree. There are 250 vouchers available on a first come first served basis. Only one voucher per household.
All tree vouchers have been claimed. Thank you for participating.
Tree Week terms and conditions.
Tree planting guidance
When deciding where you want to plant your tree the key things to consider are:
- do not plant it too close to any buildings
- make sure the spot is not over pipework or utilities
For more information on how to plant trees read the how to plant a tree guidance on the Woodland Trust website.
Volunteering in your community
We work closely with community groups who help look after our public open spaces, this can include planting hedgerows and trees.
Find out about the volunteering opportunities to help nature and improve the green spaces in your local area.
Pucklechurch Wood
We are planting a new woodland at Pucklechurch which will be the largest woodland ever planted on South Gloucestershire Council-owned land.
For such an ambitious project we need the help of a large number of volunteers.
You can find out more about the project on our tree planting programme page, and sign up to be part of it on Eventbrite.
