What We Do
Plant, establish and care for trees
We plant hundreds of new trees in the city each year, working in partnership with land owners and land managers. We also establish these newly planted trees through our care team who regularly water, survey and maintain them. We focus on greater tree equity, working in areas of the city facing the greatest impacts of low canopy cover.
Work directly with communities
We have a programme of activity that puts communities at the heart of decision making for their neighbourhoods. We use co-production techniques to support individuals and groups to make decisions about species and location selection, engagement workshops and aftercare.
Data collection and analysis
We have a funded programme of activity around data collection and have a team of people surveying newly planted street trees to better understand how they are performing and what factors may affect their ability to thrive. To date, we’ve surveyed over 3,000 trees in the city.
Advocate for better trees and more of them
We use our experience and data to push for changes in the way we support trees in the city. We focus on species diversity, hyper-local tree equity, climate change resilience and aftercare to help produce better trees and a stronger, more complex and adaptable urban forest.
