Between 2015 and 2024, the number of days exceeding 30C in the UK more than trebled compared with 1961-1990 average. Trees can lower surface temperatures by up to 12°C. Trees also help to cool buildings too. We provide fully funded trees to healthcare sites. Our goal is to expand tree cover and increase healthy spaces.
