OUR TEAM

…the people behind the work

STfL HQ

Marie-Claire Denyer
Head of Partnerships & Initiatives & Co-Founder

Marie-Claire oversees STfL’s partnerships and is responsible for the expansion of new tree planting projects, including targeted planting programmes focusing on schools, community groups and in over-developed parts of the borough. Marie-Claire and Oli are working to bring the schools programme to new parts of south London.

Madeleine Tuinstra
Joint Head of Residential Planting

Madeleine manages STfL’s residential planting programme in partnership with David Lowe. Together they work with a team of volunteer area representatives to engage with local communities to promote, facilitate and fundraise for the planting and after care of hundreds of residential street trees.

Oli Back
Head of Operations

Oli takes on a lot of the non-project related functions (e.g. finance, communications, data) across the charity as well as working on the schools programme in boroughs outside of Lewisham.

David Low
Joint Head of Residential planting

David manages STfL’s residential planting programme.  He also oversees care and maintenance, working with STfL’s network of volunteers in regular audits and tree care sessions to ensure that trees are given every chance to survive and thrive in our streets.

Area Representatives

Integral to our work are the volunteers who help to get trees planted across Lewisham. Without this dedicated team of tree enthusiasts we would not be able to plant as many trees or engage with communities in meaningful ways.
