The council is giving away up to 10,000 free tree saplings to help make Northumberland a greener and cleaner place to live.

Eight different sapling species are now available to order online, which are suitable for small, medium, and large green spaces - even those with limited space can apply, including:

• Residents
• Community/voluntary groups
• Schools/colleges
• Town and Parish Councils
• Landowners
• Businesses
• Charities

As well as being good for the environment, planting trees is an opportunity for all ages and abilities within the community to come together, learn new skills and get outdoors.

The trees are small cell grown plants, sourced from the UK, and come provided with a biodegradable shelter guard and cane along with planting and aftercare instructions.

Accessible collection points will be available across the county during November, December and January, and details will be announced in the week commencing 4th October 2022.
