Situation
Over 80% of the UK’s population now live within towns and cities and it is the most deprived communities that are hit the hardest by the lack of green infrastructure. Every year, roughly 36,000 people die early in the UK due to poor air quality. Without trees and green spaces, we all suffer. We breathe polluted air, wildlife habitats are shrinking and our physical and mental health is negatively affected without green havens in our grey cities. We need to transform the health of our cities.
Solution
At Trees for Cities, we’re no strangers to all the amazing benefits urban trees bring: they’re havens for wildlife, clean our air, provide shade, improve our mental wellbeing and so much more. Every year Trees for Cities bring together thousands of volunteers from across the UK who want to bring the multiple benefits or urban trees to our towns and cities. The Covid-19 pandemic highlights the essential role that high-quality green spaces play in our daily lifestyles - now more than ever.
