Trees for Cities

From Sustainable Community Action

Trees for Cities is an independent charity that plants trees and re-landscapes public spaces in urban area of greatest need. The charity’s vision is to stimulate a greening renaissance in cities around the world that will impact on global warming and beautify the urban landscape, as well as encouraging greater social cohesion through the active participation of local people. A special effort is made to involve children and young people in all projects. The public can get involved by sponsoring trees, registering as a volunteer, enrolling in training programmes, taking part in the Tree-athlon and going to fund-raising parties. ^[1]
