Get involved

If you’re a local resident, parish councillor, business, teacher, landowner, land manager or farmer with land that’d be perfect for tree planting, we’d love to hear from you.

How do I know if my land is a good fit?

Before you join the Hampshire Forest Partnership, it’s important to think about whether your land would be a healthy environment for trees to grow.

Here are some important questions to consider:

Have you got permission to use the land for tree planting?
Will the trees fit the space as they grow? Think about the size and spread so that the trees, when fully grown, will suit the location
Which trees will thrive in your soil type and environment? Different species love different conditions, so it’s important to plant the right ones
Will any underground services, like water pipes, be impacted?

We’re unable to use archaeological sites and land with protected species as we don’t want to disturb these important parts of our community.
