APPLICATIONS for a scheme offering the chance to plant a tree for free have doubled compared to last year.
Nearly 70 trees will be delivered to homes across Gravesham compared to 31 during the previous year.
The Gravesham Council Impact scheme allows residents to choose one of eight species of tree, measuring from 5ft to 6ft, complete with a supporting stake, tree tie and planting instructions.
It encourages people to plant a tree to help the environment and provide food and shelter for wildlife.
The trees must be planted where they are visible to passers-by.
