Trees for London was established in 1993 as an independent charity "to advance the education of the public in the appreciation of trees and their amenity value; and in the furtherance of this, the protection and planting of trees particularly in inner city areas."

In 2003 we changed the name of the charity to Trees for Cities but our work in London continues to grow.

Although some parts of London benefit from a rich Victorian legacy of parks and street trees, other areas are desperately lacking in green space. Trees for Cities' work aims to improve the quality of life for everyone that lives and works in London. Throughout our work we place special emphasis on the involvement of local people, especially the younger generations and those from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Trees for Cities relies on donations from individuals in order to deliver our London projects. Please consider supporting our project work by making a donation or buying a community gift.
