The trees could find their homes in schools, community centres, churches or any other charity centres with campaign organisers eager to hear from a diverse range of applicantss.
Dobbies’ Horticultural Director, Marcus Eyles, said: “We’re proud to be in a position where we can support local communities, so thank you to Needlefresh for supporting us with this campaign.
“We would encourage schools, community groups and charities across Braehead to get in touch with a nomination to be within the chance of receiving a Christmas tree donation.
“The Nordmann Fir is the most popular Christmas tree in the UK because it loses very few needles.”
Nominations forms can be filled out via the Dobbies website now with a deadline for submissions set for Monday, October 24.
All entries will be reviewed by the Dobbie’s team with winners invited to the Braehead store in early November to hand-select their trees.
