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.
Since launching in 2023, the program has supported the planting of about 9,500 trees and shrubs, engaging more than 12,600 people in local action for pollinators.
If your community has an idea to create habitat and support bees, now is the time to apply.
Applications close 20 July 2026, 5pm AEST.

Please read the Terms & Conditions and the Eligibility Checklist.
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.
