Trees for Bees

The Trees for Bees Community Tree Grants support the planting of bee-friendly trees in extended gardens, community-owned land, school grounds, sporting club precincts and urban corridors.

The program provides funding to community groups and organisations to increase vital habitat, providing spaces for bees to forage, live and breed.

Program details

The 2026 Trees for Bees Community Tree Grants applications have now closed.

The 2026 Trees for Bees Community Tree Grants are now open for applications.

This year, 40 grants of $500 are available for not-for-profit organisations, school groups, Landcare groups, community organisations and sustainability groups.

Applications require a brief summary of the bee-friendly planting proposal, planting area and planting dates.

Please read the Terms & Conditions and the Eligibility Checklist.

Applications for the 2026 round are now closed. Sign up to the newsletter on the right to be the first to hear about future rounds. 

Applicants will be judged on three criteria:

  • Pollinator Impact: How the planting will benefit bees and other pollinators.
  • Area covered: The size of the planting and the details of the area (was it previously an unused site, does it extend existing pollinator-friendly garden).
  • Community reach: How many people are involved in the planting, how many people will learn more about the importance of planting for pollinators as a result of the grant. 

The Trees for Bees Community Tree Grants are proudly supported by Flow® and Rabobank’s Rabo Community Fund.
