Aberdeenshire Council Ranger Service has published a video on tree planting and aftercare on its webpage: https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/leisure-sport-and-culture/ranger-service/#treeplanting

The video supports residents, schools and community groups who wish to improve biodiversity and environment through planting trees. The video provides information on selecting appropriate sites and species, how to plant trees and how to look after planted trees so they can grow and develop.

The Ranger Service has also used NatureScot Nature Restoration grant funding to build two community equipment kits for tree planting and aftercare.

The kits contain tools such as spades, rakes, shears and gloves which support successful tree planting and aftercare. The kits can loaned to schools or community groups and can used either independently or with a Ranger (where available).
