The Free Trees for Farmers Scheme, managed by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, distributed tree packs to farmers in Stratford district to enhance biodiversity and climate adaptation. Funded by Stratford District Council for £35,000, the initiative provides hedge, woodland, and fruit tree packs to support natural flood management and carbon sequestration.

This follows two previous rounds, distributing 8,000 trees to 38 farmers and 13,000 trees in total during the second round. The scheme is part of a larger £55,000 package approved by SDC to support nature recovery, which also includes funding for community green space projects.
