Trees for Streets

Tell us 📢 where you’d like your street tree 🌳 planted. When a resident sponsors a tree through @treesforstreets, they get to say where they’d like it planted. Their council does a survey. If all ok, a tree is put in that following winter. treesforstreets.org

Residents have transformed this street in Seven Sisters by sponsoring 17 new trees! The power of community 💪💚

Don’t forget to look up 👀☝️ Can you hear the busy 🐝🐝🐝?

Residents and local businesses can now sponsor street and park trees across both boroughs, bringing the power of urban trees right to their doorstep. We're thrilled to be working with Wandsworth Council and Richmond Council in helping them grow their urban forests 🌳🌲🌳

📢Exciting announcement! We've partnered with Richmond Council @LBRUT & Wandsworth Council @wandbc to enable residents to green their neighbourhoods through our street tree sponsorship scheme! 🌳

📣PSA - trees aren’t decoration, they’re a vital part of urban infrastructure!

It’s happening! #BlossomWatch

@TreesforStreets @yourcroydon @Croydonist @JasonForCroydon @VisitCroydon @XRCroydon @CroydonCntrlLab @CroydonLabour @CroydonGreens @CroydonTories Just to the west of Croyon. our street tree Betty got cut down, bit of die back, but nothing some horse Manure wouldn't fix IMO. Still waiting for a replacement, how do we sponsor one please?

Do you know what brings communities together? ✨Trees ✨ We've seen it happen many times - like Croydon residents Sajid and Donna, who helped sponsor trees on their highstreet. They've united over greening their neighbourhood, and feel more connected to where they live 💚

☀️The sun is shining, the daffs are blooming and the trees are budding - why not get in the spring spirit and sponsor a new tree in your favourite park? Something you and your loved ones can visit time and time again 🌳

This World Non-Governmental Organisation Day, we're asking for your help. Greening urban areas is no mean feat, and while we are endlessly thankful for our sponsors, there are still areas lacking in trees. Today, you have three options: 🌳 Sponsor a tree 🌳 Launch a crowdfunding campaign 🌳 Support our parent charity Trees for Cities Help us ensure everyone has access to green space in their neighbourhood 💚

We see councils all over the UK trying their best to plant more trees, but with dwindling budgets and other pressing issues, we understand why tree planting can get pushed down the list. That's where we step in. Your sponsorship ensures that councils can plant more trees - and you even get a say on where it goes! 🌳

Touching grass is just level one, for real grounding you should try planting trees ✨

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best is now." (Somerset House, London)

Trees impact our pets in a number of ways, from keeping their paws from getting too hot on summer pavements to providing cleaner air to breathe. Why not treat your furry friend to a sponsored street tree this National Love Your Pet Day to truly show them you care? 🌳🐶🐱

If your council isn't yet involved in our planting scheme, the best way to show your support is by filling in an Expression of Interest form on our website. It's easy and will only take a few minutes to complete. Find your local form here 👉 sponsor.treesforstreets.org/start

@StijnWenders @createstreets @keithjones84 Yes to this

@createstreets @keithjones84 Much better I'd say.

What a melancholy comparison. It’s time, lavishly & liberally, to replant street trees, widen pavements, rip out ugly lights & reclaim streets from their highways officer overlords Dickens Street, Toxteth, 1911 vs 2023 via @keithjones84 who is worth a follow

@CatoEdwards @createstreets @keithjones84 We're working on it!

@createstreets @keithjones84 english streets need more trees

@duchessmathilda Over 2,300!

@TreesforStreets I used to know this but have forgotten the exact number, but it's well into four figures!

Trees are the ideal habitat for a lot of UK-based wildlife, including birds, insects and small mammals 🐦🐛🦇 Can you guess how many different species an English oak tree is home to?
