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 🐶🍃

“It’s just a tree” It’s not just a tree, it’s one we planted 13 years ago and now we can see it from our office 🥺💚

💥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 😌

Trees literally release ✨feel good chemicals✨ so when we tell you to go hug a tree, it’s for your own good.

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

We’re the embodiment of that saying ‘the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago’ Because we actually did 😉🌳

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay 🌳🦋🦊 The best friends of nature are trees and wildlife! They rely on each other, support each other and most definitely gossip about humans with each other 😂

As winter approaches, some trees prepare by storing food and conserving energy. They shed their leaves to reduce water loss, while increased rainfall keeps the soil moist. This makes winter the perfect time for trees to focus on root growth, searching for water and nutrients before spring returns.

Q: How much time do we spend watching our trees grow on Google Maps? A: Too long to keep track of... 😅 We planted this beautiful Gingko tree in November 2004 on Newcomen Street, London! Look how much it’s grown over the last twenty years 🤩💚

Did you know that fallen trees still benefit the surrounding ecosystem? 🌱 Whether decaying or dead, these trees can host a range of species and boost biodiversity. They can also support young saplings through nutrient recycling. 🌳 Trees help encourage the survival of many species, dead or alive!
