Community Tree Nurseries
A community tree nursery (CTN) is a group of people who come together to collect seed, grow trees and then give them away to be planted locally.
“The benefits of community tree nurseries can’t be overstated. There are so many aspects which are beneficial, both for the environment and for the people involved. They aren’t just boosting tree planting efforts in their area, they’re also helping people to connect to nature while developing skills. By offering inclusive spaces for community participation, they provide people with a tangible way to respond to the climate and nature crises.”
