National Tree Week 2020
Join our celebration of National Tree Week 2020! Though we're in lockdown and large gatherings are on hold, our vital work continues up and down the UK and there are still lots of things we can do together to make our cities greener, happier and healthier.
National Tree Week is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration, and it's taking place 28 November – 6 December. In previous years we've put on popular mass tree planting events, but sadly the pandemic has put a temporary stop to that. Fear not: there are still plenty of ways you can get involved!
Never before has the value of urban green space been more apparent. During lockdown, many found solace in their local parks and green patches. As well as providing many benefits to our health and general wellbeing, urban parks keep us connected to nature. It is vital, therefore, that we can go on greening urban landscapes - and we hope you can help us get there!

Share your planting pics with us
We'd love to see your photos from our previous planting events, both as a lovely trip down memory lane, but also as a reminder of how big the Generation Tree movement already is! If you haven't yet been to a planting event, show us your photos of your lockdown urban nature adventures.
Tag us #GenerationTree & use our handle @treesforcities, and if we share your photo you'll be entered into a prize draw to win Chris Packham's newest book, 'Back to Nature'!
