As a result of programme changes along the whole line of HS2, HS2 and their contractor Belfour Beatty Vinci, now have a surplus of different species and quantities of tree saplings available to communities.
These saplings are available to all community and voluntary organisations, including parish councils and charities.
These have become available as nurseries who grow the saplings do so based on an estimate demand for what will be needed in 3 years. The estimation is now different from 3 years ago meaning there is a surplus.
Details of the species available can be found in the Excel document here - Tree saplings for communities (5.61 MB) - the height on the sheet reflects the sapling height, not the fully grown height of the tree.
Requirements, including species and quantities will need to be made via the form, by the end of February with a delivery address and contact details It is anticipated that delivery will be during March. Please send completed forms to communityinvestment@balfourbeattyvinci.com.
