Question
What Welsh Government support is available to sports clubs or societies to undertake tree planting on the perimeter of pitches?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
We want as many people as possible to become involved in tree planting and plant “the right tree in the right place”. We offer support through our Small Grants Woodland Creation scheme for smaller areas such as field edges and corners. Applications for funding are assessed individually to ensure they meet eligibility criteria.
Our Local Places for Nature programme may also provide clubs and societies with support for native and fruit tree planting. Some sites may have restrictions placed on them so anyone considering planting trees must check whether permission needs to be obtained from the relevant authorities for their project.
