I don’t have all the answers, but one of them is definitely ‘more trees’ 🌳

We're excited to get stuck into planting once again 🌳 We hope you get the chance to give back to the environment and plant your own tree this year!

Here's proof that you can protect existing trees around redevelopment 🌲 We planted these Dawn Redwoods on Gaunt Street, Elephant and Castle, in 2006. We love that these trees were protected and prioritised during redevelopment of this area over the years!

Another reason why trees are important is that the doggies love the tree shade 🐶🍃

If you're out and about today, make sure to take a quick break under some tree shade to cool down 🍃 (and also stay hydrated!)

💥Cities are loud💥 but trees can help make them quieter! A busy London street can be 80 decibels, which is loud enough to have a negative impact on your well-being. 🌳 Trees dampen sound by absorbing, deflecting and scattering sound waves. Thanks trees 😌

Oh ok so when someone lays under trees in the countryside it’s called ‘forest bathing’ but when I do it under street trees in a town centre it’s called ‘being a public nuisance’ 😕

We planted this cutie patootie in 2012. She’s got a little lean going on, but she’s still growing strong.
