Brighton
Trees for Cities planted 1,000 new trees in Brighton in early 2012 as part of the Big Tree Plant campaign, in partnership with Brighton Paper Round.
A small forest was created in Stanmer Park; a hedgerow planted in Vale Avenue and trees lost to Dutch elm disease in Surrenden Road were replaced. And, at an event on Western Road, an elm tree was planted, symbolic as the area holds some of the country’s largest specimens. The Brighton planting supported local biodiversity, particularly the white letter hairstreak butterfly, which relies on the elm.
