Let's put trees back on our streets
'Trees for Streets' is about raising awareness of the importance of street trees.
So often our footways are so congested with signs, lampposts and CCTV cameras, that there's no room left for trees.
A Street is more than just a thoroughfare; it's a vital community space. All residents deserve the right to expect a tree-lined street the way they expect other services such as lighting or rubbish collection.
Trees for Streets is about championing large, majestic trees, where space and architecture allows, that will grace our streets for hundreds of years to come.
It is also about making sure trees planted are suited to the hostile and polluted surroundings and provide a positive impact on the local environment, through carbon absorption and filtering of dust and pollutants.
The Trees for Streets programme engages local residents and businesses in discussion about street trees, providing opportunities to discuss likes, dislikes, aspirations and concerns in order to find a solutions that works for everyone.
