This National Tree Week (25 November – 3 December 2023), The Tree Council is asking the public to celebrate trees.
Trees provide a habitat for a range of wildlife, but they also add value to our lives in many other ways. They supply us with food, fuel and building materials, and they help reduce flooding and clean our polluted air and water supplies. They are also proven to advance wellbeing.
According to The Tree Council, trees are good for business as well, increasing the value of property and encouraging more people to visit shopping areas.
This year’s National Tree Week marks the 50th anniversary of ‘Plant a Tree in 73’, a campaign that resulted in the creation of National Tree Week (and The Tree Council).

National Tree Week is a great time for individuals, communities and families across the UK to recognise and celebrate the value of trees.
The Tree Council has created lots of resources to help you get involved. Download a resource pack, The Young Tyree Growers guide, or why not call in family, friends, and neighbours, or work with your local community group, scout association, school, care home, or anyone else you can think of, to host a Tree Party in your nearby park, your garden, or any other community space?
