We plant and establish new trees in the city, advocate for all trees across Birmingham and work directly with communities for greater tree equity.
Tree Equity
Creating greater equity is one of our key aims as we plant and establish new trees in the city. We predominantly work in areas where canopy cover is lowest.
Tree Planting
Each winter we plant between 100-200 large trees. Working with communities to decide what, where and why.
Tree Care
We have a tree care team who help maintain and water mature and establishing trees. We commit to watering our trees for the first three years in the ground.
Volunteering
We’re supporting volunteers to undertake vital tree work in the city. We host casual volunteers and specialist volunteers.
Street Trees
We survey Birmingham’s street trees to help us track their establishment
Orchards
We’re mapping the city’s public orchards to better understand orchard equity.
Tree Selection
We’re utilising data to help choose the right tree for the right location and the right reason.
The BZ Forest
We’re helping to establish The Benjamin Zephaniah forest as a legacy to the late dub poet, activist, musician and actor.

We’ve mapped a number of Tree Trails in parks across the city. View them and download the map here.
