Heartwood Community Forest
Get your summer off to a great start by considering planting trees.
Government grants are available for landowners in eastern and southern Derbyshire to plant trees as part of Derbyshire’s Heartwood Community Forest.

Benefits of tree planting include enhancing wildlife, absorbing noise and helping to reduce flood risk.
