Trees for Streets is the National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme brought to you by the charity Trees for Cities. We’re a Tech for Good project that uses technology to empower people and make it easy for residents and organisations to get involved in greening their communities. We do this by hosting tree sponsorship schemes on behalf of local councils, and delivering local promotion and engagement
activity to bring these schemes to life. Our work raises funds through public sponsorship to supplement council tree planting budgets, enabling them to plant many more trees in their area. Simply choose your location by dropping a pin on the map where you'd like to have the tree planted, then answer a few quick questions, and make your donation. We'll then confirm with you if your chosen spot is suitable, after checking with the council's tree experts. If it's a good place for a tree, the council will plant a tree in Autumn or Winter - we'll let you know when. Then you can help the tree to establish and grow by watering it every week for 3 summers, and enjoy the many benefits it will bring to your street. This project is funded by DEFRA’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund. The fund is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
