Trees for Cities Urban Forestry Programme
Our urban forestry programme is currently in place in 42 urban areas across the UK, bolstering urban greening, draining and tackling the urban heat island effect.
Productivity, mental health and general happiness are improved greatly by the presence of high quality greenspace. By providing projects in areas of high multiple deprivation and low canopy cover, we aim to have the greatest impact.
We plant and provide edible playgrounds and tree planting initiatives within schools alongside our environmental curriculum on the benefits of trees and planting
Our work across community greenspace, namely parks, street trees and urban forestry make city areas more pleasant to be in and have drastic environmental, social and mental health benefits on local communities
