Trees for Streets Partnership
We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Trees for Streets.
​
We’re working with charity project Trees for Streets to fund the planting of more street trees in the Bristol area. One of the 5 trees we’re sponsoring this year will be planted to help shade a children’s playground in Avonmouth, and the others along High Street and Lower High Street in Shirehampton.
Trees for Streets is a ‘tech for good’ project supported by the government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund.
Its mission is to fund the planting of more than 250,000 additional street trees nationwide over the next 10 years, and they recently started working with the Bristol community to fill our streets with trees.
​
At Craig West Turf, we’re looking forward to getting more trees planted in the streets of Bristol over the coming year.
Craig West, Managing Director at
Craig West Turf Ltd say's:
“We want to give something back to the community, and trees are something everyone will benefit from for generations to come. Our cities and towns need more trees, and we’re glad to be playing our part in making this happen in Bristol.”
Street trees do so much for us and the places where we live:
-
capture carbon dioxide
-
produce oxygen
-
improve our health and wellbeing – both physically and mentally
-
absorb air pollution
-
improve air quality by acting like natural filters
-
protect us from flooding
-
create shading and cooling – so important in towns and cities
-
make the neighbourhoods where we live that bit nicer
You can get involved too!
By sponsoring a street tree, or a tree in a local park.
