Your Tree Our Future
Your Tree Our Future has launched for 2025, providing the opportunity to receive free trees and hedgerow packs.
Your Tree Our Future is a collaborative project delivered by us (the county council),Hertfordshire's district and borough councils and voluntary sector partners. It is designed to enable Hertfordshire's residents, businesses and community groups to help plant more trees across the county.
During its first three years, over 10,000 residents have taken part and helped plant morethan 190,000 trees. In 2025 we are seeking to increase this number to 250,000 trees.
The planting of trees and hedgerow offers shade from extreme heat, improves wellbeing,and increases biodiversity whilst providing the opportunity to learn more about the natural environment. It also provides natural boundaries, buffering noise pollution and may also improve air quality.
We would be grateful if this initiative was shared across your school’s social media and other communication channels, inviting parents and guardians to register their interest. We also invite schools to take part if you would like to receive trees.
If any school is interested in larger scale tree and hedgerow planting, then please contact the Your Tree Our Future team via yourtree@hertfordshire.gov.uk
