ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES
Trees for Cities is an ambitious, far-reaching organisation.
Trees for Cities is the only charity working on a national and international scale to improve people's lives by planting trees in cities. In a world facing unprecedented threats from climate change, loss of biodiversity and disconnection from nature, our work has never been more urgent or important. We are a rapidly growing and developing organisation that suits ambitious, dedicated and passionate staff.
We engage local communities to cultivate lasting change in their neighbourhoods with urban trees, whether it’s creating healthier environments, keeping our cities cool, protecting from flooding or getting people involved in nature.
We have been in existence for nearly 30 years, engaging communities to plant, protect and promote urban trees in parks, streets, schools and housing estates across the UK and around the world. Through our work, we deliver local impact on a national and global scale, strengthening urban communities through volunteering opportunities and helping to enable and inspire a new generation to plant and protect urban trees. The charity has seen significant organisational growth and development in recent years, including a new senior leadership team to boost capacity and lead a growing organisation.
