It’s your local council that legally owns the tree.

When you sponsor a tree, you are making a wonderful gift to your local community, who will all share in the benefit of this new tree for generations. Not only this, but you’ve helepd your council’s tree planting budget stretch further – meaning you’ve essentially gifted a tree somewhere else too.

Whilst you do not own the tree, you can certainly care for it and cherish it. For example, during very hot, dry periods, giving it a little extra drink can really help it thrive. If you have access to mulch, you can also add that to its base to help it retain moisture.
