We're making urban trees matter!
For over 30 years, Trees for Cities has brought people together to plant and care for trees in towns and cities across the UK. Alongside local communities, partners and supporters, we’ve planted over 2 million trees where they’re needed most.
Together, we're building a national movement for urban trees and tree equity so that everyone benefits from the transformative power of trees, no matter where they live.
