Situation
Green inequality has enormous consequences for us all. We know the lack of accessible green space disproportionately affects inner-city communities, and the consequences of this include unclean air, a lack of biodiversity and wildlife, and poor physical and mental health, to name a few. A recent report on dirty air in towns and cities in England showed that 3.1 million schoolchildren currently attend schools in areas with unclean air. It's time to act and improve the health of our cities, now!
Solution
By working with local communities with the most need, Trees for Cities is bringing the multiple benefits of urban trees right to their doorstep, & equipping them with the tools and skills to plant and protect urban trees for generations to come. By transforming school grounds with our Planting Healthy Air programme, we can ensure that children grow up surrounded by nature, forming a connection to the natural world from an early age, creating a healthy environment for them to thrive and flourish.
