COVID-19: please act responsibly when visiting our parks.

Tree Sponsorship

Trees can be sponsored across the borough in various locations. They can be placed in the street outside your home or office or in your local park. Sponsoring a tree can be used as a way of celebrating a special occasion or to commemorate a loved one. You are also improving your surrounding environment. Trees clean the air by soaking up harmful pollutants. They soften the urban landscape and can increase property values, while providing homes and food for local wildlife.

You sponsor the cost and planting of the tree and we’ll do the hard work. Once the tree has been planted, we will provide you with some handy tips on how to take care of the tree. We do encourage sponsors to get involved in the aftercare of the tree as this can be a rewarding experience. Young trees require at least three years aftercare.

Trees are planted between November and April to give them the best possible chance of establishing. Some examples of suitable species and costs are listed below. Please remember that these tree species are just a guide. If you have a suggestion of your own, please feel free to discuss this with us.
