Tree Planting

Memorial Trees - The Council will consider the planting of Memorial trees on open spaces where a fee is paid. Please click here for further details and printable application form or contact 01255 686677 for further details.

Community Tree Planting - Local groups and organisations, as well as schoolchildren and individuals in Tendring were given the chance to get involved in helping to plant 10,000 new trees across the District last year. The trees were put into eight sites in Clacton, Frinton and Walton, Harwich and Dovercourt, and Weeley.

This green initiative was possible following a successful bid by Tendring District Council to Essex County Council for £30,000. This was following a pledge by EEC to plant 250,000 new trees throughout the County and invited applications for funding.
