The Climate Action Fife Community Tree Fund aims to raise £30,000 to support tree planting in Fife.
Trees are essential for people, wildlife and the environment. They are a natural ally in tackling the climate crisis. They lock up carbon, reduce pollution and flooding. They support people, wildlife and farming in adapting to the climate crisis.
Woods and trees are also good for our health and well-being, improving the places we live, work and play. The Climate Action Fife Community Tree Fund supports people across Fife to plant and look after trees to realise these benefits.
Where your donation will be used
