Dedicate a tree
Trees for Cities is a charity set up with the aim of working with local communities to get more trees planted and in urban areas most in need of new green spaces. In addition to tree planting, the charity is now involved in a wide range of activities that include educational work with schools and community groups, vocational training in arboriculture and horticulture, re-landscaping the public realm and campaigning for trees.
Our tree dedication scheme is a way of raising vital funds whilst offering supporters the opportunity to honour a friend, family member or loved one. A dedicated tree is a perfect gift that will keep on growing for years to come.
Dedicating a tree costs £175. You can choose a tree recently planted in one of our London project sites and erect a plaque on the tree’s supporting tree stake. The plaque on your dedicated tree contains an inscription of your choice, and the dedication can be up to 25 words long.
Once the dedication plaque is in place we take a photo of the dedicated tree and send it to you along with a map detailing the dedicated tree’s precise location. Plaques are removed after a period of 3 or 4 years, when the tree no longer has a need for a supporting stake, and plaques returned to their donor.
To dedicate a tree, or for more information on the Dedicate a Tree scheme, email Sarah Summers, or call her on 020 7820 4415.
