Trees for streets
Trees for Streets is the National Street Tree Sponsorship scheme, co-founded by the national charity Trees for Cities and civic innovator Start with Local. We aim to make it easy for residents and organisations to donate to the planting and watering of trees in their streets and neighbourhoods. We host sponsorship schemes on behalf of local councils.
Giving residents the means to directly improve their neighbourhood, is a powerful way to increase community resilience, and helps dissolve barriers between councils and residents.
Street trees offer huge benefits for our own mental and physical wellbeing. They also capture carbon, absorb pollution, create shading and cooling, and just make where we live that much nicer.
