Tackle climate change with our carbon-busting trees, plant a pocket forest - create havens for wildlife, and green up your local environment for generations to enjoy.
Our Tree Packs
The right trees for the right places. Grown in the UK, our native tree packs have been carefully selected with communities and nature in mind. Trees to suit your needs, that provide maximum benefit for our cherished green spaces and the wildlife within. There’s a pack for you! Think about what might matter to your local community. More pollinators? Amenity woodland? A pocket forest in your neighbourhood? Have a look at the options below to find a solution and place your order.

Your Impact
I Dig Trees communities are planting trees in their millions across the UK – creating thousands of species rich pocket forests, breathing life into their neighbourhoods. You can be a part of this. Take a look at the map to see where trees have already been planted.
This is people power at its very best. With each new planting scheme, we are creating and connecting wildlife corridors that allow nature to flourish in our communities. None of this could happen without YOU, wonderful volunteers and community groups coming together to make a difference.
Where will you plant yours?
Tree planting and aftercare
We want your trees to thrive! Good planting and aftercare will give these precious broadleaf trees the best possible start in life, leaving a lasting green legacy for our communities to enjoy throughout the seasons.
Become a plant companion and receive guidance on how to look after your trees in their formative years. From planting, to independence, there are steps you can take to ensure your trees thrive and we’re here to help you.
With every order, you’ll also receive a tree planting and maintenance guide with all the guidance you need for a successful planting event, and a legacy of trees in the heart of your community.
