Farmers, landowners and community groups could plant around 15,000 landscape trees across Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders with funding help.
The South of Scotland Tree Planting project has just announced a new round of funding, with £120,000 available over the next 12 months.
Individual grants of up to £1,000 are now available through the initiative, which is supported by Woodland Trust Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway Council, Scottish Borders Council, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Scottish Forestry and private donations.

The South of Scotland Tree-Planting project is administered by the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership, Tweed Forum and Borders Forest Trust and since the scheme launched in April 2021, more than 34,000 individual trees have been planted.
