Grow a tree from seed
How would you like your own oak tree in The National Forest?
All you have to do is collect a few of the acorns that are around in autumn, plant them and watch them grow.
When the saplings are strong enough you'll be invited to a tree planting event in The National Forest.
The documents to the right give information on the best way to collect acorns and grow oak trees. You will need to look after your young oak trees for two or three years. At this stage they are big enough to survive in the wild and small enough to transplant successfully.
