Description
Trees for Streets is the new National Street Tree Sponsorship scheme.
We aim to make it easy for residents and organisations to donate to the
planting and watering of trees in their streets and neighbourhoods. We
host sponsorship schemes on behalf of local councils.
Giving residents the means to directly improve their neighbourhood, is
a powerful way to increase community resilience, and helps dissolve
barriers between councils and residents.
Street trees offer huge benefits for our own mental and physical
wellbeing. They also capture carbon, absorb pollution, create shading
and cooling, and just make where we live that much nicer.
Start with Local, is a social enterprise, whose aim it is to try to
solve some of society’s problems from a local starting point.
Set up as a design and delivery organisation, Start with Local
understands how to weave together differing disciplines, (from tech to
marketing to community engagement, and this case, tree planting), to
come up with innovative ways of solving problems.
Trees for Cities is an innovative charity, with an admirable track
record of empowering communities through tree planting and other green
projects. Their work is often focussed on localities suffering from a
lack of access to green space. They recently planted their millionth
tree.
