Press Release from Buckinghamshire Council30 April 2026
New survey launched to unlock tree planting opportunities across Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire Council is inviting expressions of interest from those with land and large gardens available for tree planting, to help realise the ambition of the Bucks Tree Mission, which aims to plant over half a million trees by 2031 – one for every resident living in Buckinghamshire. Almost half of the target has already been achieved, with 257,000 trees predominantly planted in new woodland created on council-owned land.
Now, residents, business owners, public organisations, community groups, farmers and landowners are being invited to support the mission by taking part in a short survey. The survey aims to identify what support would be needed to unlock more tree planting opportunities across the county. Anyone with land potentially suitable for tree planting is encouraged to complete a short, multiple-choice questionnaire (https://yourvoicebucks.citizenspace.com/environment/tree-planting/ ) that takes no more than three minutes to complete.
Participants can also sign-up to receive further information about future funding opportunities and tree giveaways, as well as planting and maintenance advice and guidance on which species are best suited to their location.
