About us

We don't just plant trees. We plant hope for the future.

Trees for Cities is a UK charity building a national movement for urban trees and tree equity. Since 1993, we’ve engaged hundreds of thousands of people, working with communities, schools, local authorities and partners to plant and care for trees in towns and cities, where they are needed most. 

We're creating healthier, greener and more equitable cities so that everyone benefits from the transformative power of trees, no matter where they live.
