Plymouth Tree People

Organisation Bio

Trees are important to all of us and provide us with a huge variety of benefits. Not only do trees make streets, parks, schools and public place feel nice and give us a connection to them but they provide us with shade and shelter and a habitat for wildlife. Trees improve air quality, reduce crime and benefit our mental health. Plymouth Tree People are working to increase the tree numbers in the city and through our passionate volunteer Tree Warden Network, helping to care for our existing and newly planted urban trees.

Plymouth Tree People also work to help local people learn about trees and encourage them to get involved in their care.

Biggest climate achievement to date

Plymouth Tree People aim to increase the tree canopy cover in Plymouth and since 2012 have planted almost 1,500 standard trees in Plymouth parks and on streets.

Most difficult climate challenge faced

Plymouth needs at least 200 new trees every year just to replace those lost to old age, disease and other causes. Plymouth Tree People makes that possible by working with residents and community groups, public body landowners and Plymouth City Council. The aim is always “right tree, right place.”

Best climate advice or tip for others

Being a part of Plymouth Tree People is a great way to support the environment and learn about trees, whether you simply receive the updates or decide to get involved as a volunteer.

Why not sign up as a Watering Hero, and pledge to keep a young tree near you watered when it needs it? Or, make a small regular donation to help us continue to work with our partner contractor who regularly waters our newly planted trees.

Young trees need lots of water for 3 - 5 years after they are planted, to help them establish.
