Salisbury City Council is launching the Living Legacy Project to celebrate the 800th anniversary of Salisbury’s Royal Charter.
As part of the scheme, 800 trees will be planted across the city in the coming months.
Cllr Jenny Bolwell, Mayor of Salisbury and Chair of the Environment Committee, said: "Every tree planted represents a commitment to our environment.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to commemorate Salisbury 800 and be part of something that will benefit the city for generations to come."
The project aims to boost biodiversity, create wildlife habitats and improve public access to green space.
Community groups, schools, businesses and residents are encouraged to take part by requesting a tree or native hedge to plant on private land.
Participants can choose from rowan, bird cherry and oak saplings, as well as native hedging.
