Fund4Trees offers research grants (up to £5,000) and bursaries (up to £500) to all those working in the arboricultural and urban forestry sectors. Occasionally, we also fund Research Tenders (up £10,000)
As a small charity our limited financial resources mean that we are able to award only a low number of grants or bursaries each year. We expect therefore that applications for funding will be highly competitive.
Research Strategy
Fund4Trees has published a Research Strategy covering the period 2019-24. The policy was developed closely with our Research Advisory Committee or RAC (see below), who advise the trustees on all funding applications for grants (up to £5,000). Research proposals are very strongly guided by the Research Strategy, and applicants are advised to read it carefully before deciding to apply for funding.
Research Advisory Committee (RAC) members include independent tree research experts plus a Fund4Trees Research Co-Ordinator Dr Madalena Vaz Monteiro. The RAC members are:
- Professor Rob MacKenzie (Immediate past Chair)
- Dr Jon Banks (Chair)
- Mr Jeremy Barrell
- Dr Kieron Doick
- Dr Jon Heuch
- Dr Andrew Hirons
- Dr Mark Gush
