How to get involved
-
Plant trees
If you’re a Lewisham or Southwark resident, we’ll work with you and others on your street to get a tree (or trees!) planted near you. It’s easier than you might think!
-
Volunteer
We’re always on the lookout for volunteers to help water and care for our street trees. If you have an hour or two to give each month, we’d love to hear from you.
-
Partner with us
If you’re a school, local authority or business and want to explore tree-planting programmes, projects or initiatives, we’d love to talk.
-
Support us
Whether it’s a one-off amount or a regular contribution, every donation enables us to plant more trees that benefit nature and our community.
