Our vision...
...is to help to plant 700,000 trees across Leicestershire – a tree for every person, over the next ten years. We’re doing this so that our vital urban and rural treescapes can thrive - for now and for future generations.
Keep track of how many trees have been planted
You can apply for free trees and hedges as part of a scheme to replace those lost to diseases.
You can also contact us, if a county council owned tree is causing an obstruction or danger to road users or pedestrians or is damaging property.
