It’s always really special when a group of neighbours get together to sponsor a tree and give back to their local neighbourhood. We visited Peter, Chris and David who did just that.
The Sams family were the first to sponsor a street tree in their area - and the children have taken on the serious job of watering their new Pear tree.
Trees have special meaning for Nicola, so when she heard about the Bedford Trees for Streets scheme, she was inspired to sponsor a tree where there used to be one on the verge outside her house.
Life-long Cambridge resident, Dilly, is on a mission to green-up her street. She started by sponsoring a tree outside her house, and has big plans for the rest of the neighbourhood.
James and his mum, Sue, love trees, and they want to see more of them on Croydon’s streets. They sponsored a tree for the empty tree pit outside their home, and are already enjoying the new addition to their street.
Raquel wanted to bring nature back to her West Croydon street by sponsoring a new tree, helping to improve wellbeing and mental health for the whole neighbourhood.
The Addiscombe Railway Park Friends group sponsored several trees to be planted in their local park, which was created from a strip of disused railway line.
