Tree Wardens- Apply for free National Tree Week Resources from The Tree Council NOW! Applications close 7 October !
National Tree Week takes place from 21 - 29 November 2026, and the Tree Council is delighted to once again offer FREE resource packs to Tree Warden Networks across the UK to help inspire children, families and communities to celebrate the wonder of trees with events in your local libraries or community centres.
From biodiversity and heritage to health and wellbeing, trees enrich our lives in countless ways. Our resource packs make it easy to create engaging displays and activities that spark curiosity about the natural world right on our doorstep.
Each pack includes a selection of posters, bookmarks, activity sheets, bunting and book lists, and this year you can choose from a Mini, Medium or Bumper Pack to suit your needs.
Applications close at midnight on Wednesday 7 October 2026. Use the link to apply for a paper or digital resource pack. Printed packs are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
