Trees for Streets

Charity led national street tree sponsorship scheme. We help residents work with their councils to plant more urban trees. Let’s fill our streets with trees.

Tell us 📢 where you’d like your street tree 🌳 planted.

When a resident sponsors a tree through @treesforstreets, they get to say where they’d like it planted. Their council does a survey. If all ok, a tree is put in that following winter.

What are those bags around the base of a tree?
They’re tree watering bags! 💧
💡Sue in Newham showed us an innovative way she fills her sponsored tree's watering bag. They can be a bit pesky, but persevere because they’ve proven to increase establishment rates of new trees🌳

💧🌳 It’s #WateringWednesday and it’s never mattered more.
With record-breaking May heat, young street trees are under real stress and need our help to survive.
Join people across the country caring for baby urban trees - one watering can at a time.

💧 It’s #WateringWednesday!
People across the country are coming together to care for street trees - and it’s making a real difference 🌳
Young urban trees need 50 litres of water each week to survive and thrive.
Join the movement and give a tree near you a drink 💚

@Stargaz91393045 That’s the lovely thing about our scheme - it connects people with nature on their doorsteps and that leads to care. This will be a well loved tree 💚🌳

Ever wondered what size a sponsored tree is? Well, usually they're 3-5 metres tall, but Lisa in Reading's sponsored tree has to be the biggest we've ever seen! Now that's what we call an ✨instant impact tree✨

@paulpowlesland Thanks for the two cents, Paul! We’ve been planting urban trees for over 30 years though, so we’re feeling pretty confident in this tree’s longevity.

Tree sponsors and Watering Champions across the UK are receiving their watering email reminders today and taking part in #WateringWednesday 💧🌳
Is there a new tree near you that could do with a drink? A good watering makes a huge difference💚🌳

Jo lives on a busy Sheffield road with no street trees and a lot of traffic noise. But as her newly sponsored tree grows, its dense canopy will act as a natural sound barrier, reducing noise pollution 🔇 and looking fabulous while doing it 🌸

Have you spotted any sponsored trees in your local park? Hundreds of people across the UK have opted to donate towards the planting of a new tree in a park of their choosing, creating a lasting legacy they can visit year after year 🌳

#WateringWednesday - is there a new urban tree near you that could do with a drink?

We've kicked off our national tree watering campaign early this year due to the warmer weather ☀️
Here's Nayef in Acton making sure his newly sponsored tree is well watered! 🌳🚿

Urban trees bring colour and life to our concrete jungles. Imagine spring without the shades of pinks that blossom trees bring 🌸

💞Our scheme allows residents to sponsor the planting of new trees in their communities - bringing nature to their doorsteps 🌳

Hi Elizabeth, we're not the council and so can't share any facts on the matter. All we can say is that occasionally it is deemed appropriate to dig up hard paving and replace it with a flexible paving material that accommodates all path users without negatively impacting the tree. We don't know what this material is, but do know a lot of our partner councils are opting to choose this rather than uproot a well established tree.

Congratulations to our three partner councils who have been recognised as a 2025 Tree City of the World: @TowerHamletsNow, @SheffCouncil and @coventrycc 🌳
Shout out to all the tree sponsors living there who have helped grow their local urban forest!
