Our work wouldn't be doable without the fantastic work of our partner councils, who ensure that each tree we facilitate is suitable and ready to thrive!

Which councils should we partner with in 2026?

Today happens to be National Squirrel Appreciation Day 🐿️

At this time of year, a lot of squirrels have forgotten about their nut stores, which is great news for trees! You might even see some new tree shoots soon, thanks to their forgetfulness!

No tree pit? No problem!

Some councils we are partnered with will create a tree pit to accommodate your preferred tree location. However, if you have an empty tree pit in your neighbourhood, you may want to consider giving it a new tenant!

Did you know that trees can:

🌳 Improve mental wellbeing?
🌳 Boost immune systems?
🌳 Prevent heat-related illness?

Trees provide health benefits to every single one of us! Just one of the many reasons to plant more trees in our towns and cities.

Urban trees play a vital part in combating pollution by cleaning the air around them and capturing carbon.

Without trees, we would be breathing unhealthy air and releasing significantly more CO2 into the atmosphere.

Will you help in the fight for clean air across the UK?

You may not have known that today is World Soil Day, but we want to celebrate how vital soil and green patches are to local communities.

Without soil on and near our roads, we would be more susceptible to flooding in the winter, as urban soil does an incredible job of collecting rainwater runoff.

This time of year can be difficult for some.

Spending time in nature, including street trees, can make a huge difference to our mental health, giving us a much-needed boost during the colder, darker months of the year. Have you tried soothing your worries by surrounding yourself with greenery? 🌲🌳

Research from Friends of the Earth has uncovered that 95% of neighbourhoods in England and Wales have unsafe air pollution levels ⚠️

Unclean air can cause many health issues in people of all ages, including children. There's one way we can begin to tackle this issue: more street trees for all 🌲🌳
