National Tree Week

National Tree Week takes place from 21 to 29 November 2026, led by The Tree Council to celebrate trees and mark the start of the winter tree planting season.

When is National Tree Week?

National Tree Week takes place in November (November 21-29). Tree planting season runs from November to March. It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause: see the full calendar.

Why National Tree Week matters

Trees clean the air, cool streets, support wildlife and make places nicer to live. Community planting days depend on volunteers, and planting and caring for young trees is work anyone can join. Explore environment volunteering.

How to get involved in National Tree Week

There are three simple ways to make National Tree Week count:

• Volunteer: join a community tree planting day or a conservation group looking after young trees. Browse opportunities.
• Fundraise: raise money for a local tree planting or green space project.
