Free trees and hedging available to order now

Residents, businesses, community groups, schools and colleges are being invited to apply for free tree/s and hedging to help make the borough a greener place to be and help fight climate change.

The council has teamed up with Hinckley and Rugby Building Society, PEXA (digital remortgaging) and the National Forest Company to offer the trees throughout Great Big Green Week 2022 and can be ordered now.

Over 27,000 tree saplings and hedging are available. If all survive to maturity then they will absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon over the next 40 years.

There is a choice of tree: Birch, Crab Apple, Bird Cherry, and Rowan plus five metre hedging packs.

Saplings and hedging can be ordered online at www.hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk/freetrees

There will be several collection points and confirmation of your collection point will be sent out prior to the collection date.

Help us make our environment a greener place.
