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.

Street trees an inconvenience?
We still meet people who think street trees are an inconvenience. With words like ‘heatdome’ & ‘flashflooding’ appearing more often in our weather reports, it’s all too clear that they are a necessity.

🌳Street trees reduce the amount of asthma related hospital visits 🏥
Studies looked at the correlation of asthma attacks and tree density - and saw a clear link between areas with lots of trees and lower rates of asthma attacks.
Trees = healthy cities & healthy people 🌳🏙️

Something simple, like investing in a couple of 🌳🌳trees to add shade + interest outside a cafe makes a world of difference
A grey 'space' transforms into a verdant 'place' where customers can sit & watch the world go by ☕️🍷😎
🌳Trees = 💵Good for business👉
