You may be looking for a way to celebrate the life of a loved one, mark an important event like a wedding or anniversary, or just find a thoughtful gift.
Having a tree planted in a local park or a green space maybe just the thing. It’s certainly a great way to create a lasting legacy. As it grows, it will cast it shade for many decades, maybe even hundreds of years, helping improve the immediate environment.
You can now sponsor the planting of a new tree in a local park directly through our charity, via this website. We’re working with a growing number of local councils (listed below) to make sponsoring a tree much easier and more affordable.
All you have to do is choose your park and fill in a simple online application, make your donation and the following winter a nursery grown 3-4m tall 'instant impact' tree will be planted. We will then contact you with the exact location.
This project is part of the Trees for Cities charity. We currently offer this scheme in the following council areas: Bedford, Blackpool, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, and in London, we work with Barnet, Croydon, Ealing, Haringey, Harrow, Hillingdon, Islington and Tower Hamlets.
Some councils call these schemes Memorial Trees or Dedication Trees, we like to call them Celebration Trees.
We hope our online application is straight forward to use, but we’re always very happy to answer any questions from individuals at team@treesforstreets.org.
We’re also very happy to speak with councils looking to move their dedication and memorial tree sponsorship service to a national platform. Drop us a line at councils@treesforstreets.org
