Cheltenham  Tree  Group

We are a local group keen to promote the growth of trees in Cheltenham.  We aim to work hand in hand with the local authority to keep a check on the health of the trees and to encourage new planting.

We grow on small trees which we purchase at low price at the end of the season.  We provide these to anyone who has a need for a hedge or specimen tree. We hope that you will come and find us at our Charlton Kings site.



Trees for 2012
Throughout January 2012 we shall still have trees available. To take advantage of the opportunity to DIG YOUR OWN please contact Peter Rees on 01242 578983 .
There are no fixed prices. Donations for our trees go to tree planting charities in the developing world.


Anniversary Celebrations - 19 June 2012

Cheltenham Tree Group will be 25 years old this year.  To mark this we will be meeting at Cox's Meadow for the unveiling of the plaque for the oaks that we planted there.  The plaque will be unveiled by Dame Janet Trotter at 11.00am.  Afterwards we will visit the nursery in Balcarass Lane to look back over our work. Light refreshments will be provided.

All members old and new are warmly invited to attend.  We'd be particularly pleased if any founding members could attend.  Please contact Bob Beale on 01242 516469 if you'd like to attend.

  • Supporting tree planting in other countries

    At the 2012 Annual General Meeting it was agreed that donations for the trees provided last year were sufficient to allow us to make the following donations:

    £200 to SOS Sahel
    £200 to Tree Aid
    £200 to DORS for trees in China and
    £200 to GEPADG for tree planting in the Gambia.

    We were delighted to learn that the £100 donated in 2011 paid for 6,100 mangrove saplings in the Gambia, which shows that a little goes a long way.


  • Planting in China


  • Mangrove whips


  • Planting in the Gambia


  • Community involvement in the Gambia


  • Queen's diamond jubilee tree planting

    Please let us have your ideas and comments.
