Tell us 📢 where you’d like your street tree 🌳 planted. When a resident sponsors a tree through @treesforstreets , they get to say where they’d like it planted. Their council does a survey. If all ok, a tree is put in that following winter.

This junction has been transformed 🪄by widening the pavement and planting a tree🌳 It never needed to be so wide📏 but now offers a safer place to cross and a shady-haven just outside a local school🧑‍🎓 #Streettrees 🌳are an integral element in healthier more human focused streets

Guess what used to 'live' here?🤔 That's right, a tree 🌳 There are thousands upon thousands of empty locations across our streets where trees used to 'live'. Let's make it a priority to re-green our streets. Let's create a new #nationalforest 🌳🌳🌳🌳 👉
