The Woodland Trust in Wales, United Kingdom together with The Welsh Government and Coed Cadw are offering a FREE tree to every household in Wales. These FREE Welsh trees will help address the effects of climate change and will also contribute to the National Forest for Wales. How good is that!?
In March 2022 over 5,000 trees were given away. Between now and March 2023 there are a further 295,000 trees available on a first-come first served basis.
If you live in Wales you simply have to get involved with this initiative! There are three ways you can claim your Free Welsh Trees:
