Trees for Cities

Trees for Cities is an independent charity undertaking tree planting and greening initiatives in urban areas of greatest need:

We listen to what local people want from their green spaces. We run public consultation events in the heart of the community so that everyone is involved in having a say in what and how we plant.

We teach in local schools to show the youngest members of the community the importance of making the most of their green spaces and caring for their environment.

We train unemployed and socially excluded local people in horticulture and arboriculture so they can earn a professional qualification whilst improving their local environment for everyone.

We campaign for urban tree planting and preservation, raising awareness within local government and the wider community.

We plant new woodlands, street trees, community gardens and edible playgrounds creating green spaces for the whole community to enjoy as well as tackling climate change, improving air quality and providing habitats for urban wildlife.
