Trees for Streets is the National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme from the urban tree charity Trees for Cities.
We’re on a mission to get an additional 250,000 street trees planted over the next 10 years.
We’re a Tech for Good project that uses technology to empower people and make it easy for residents and organisations to get involved in greening their communities. We do this by hosting tree sponsorship schemes on behalf of local councils, and delivering local promotion and engagement activity to bring these schemes to life.
Why are street trees important?
Street trees do so much for us:
• improve air quality by acting like natural filters
• capture carbon dioxide and produce oxygen
• absorb air pollution
• improve our health and wellbeing – both physically and mentally
• provide a home for wildlife
• protect us from flooding
• create shading and cooling – so important in towns and cities
• make the neighbourhoods where we live that bit nicer
Beyond sponsoring a tree, there are lots of other ways for people to get involved. Once each street tree is planted, it will need watering every week throughout the summer for 3 years to give it the best chance of survival, and any litter or weeds will need removing too, to make sure it thrives.
This project is funded by DEFRA’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund. The fund is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
