West Midlands Combined Authority have bestowed on BTP a Community Environment Fund 2024 Award, to celebrate the work we have done during the ongoing Street Tree Survey project! Tonia Clark, BTP Chair, is pictured here with the Deputy Mayor Councillor Sharon Thompson receiving the award on behalf of BTP and its incredible surveying team. The award is made from reclaimed materials, and the wood is cherry. Massive congratulations to Nina, Dee, and all the volunteer surveyors. Straight back to data collecting for the team…
Perry Barr Street Trees
The BTP Street Tree surveying team were out taking tree data in Perry Barr, 17th November, and once again had a great time doing so! Thank you to Jeevan, Valerie, Meena and Sam for another successful surveying session with Nina, Trustee for Street Trees. They surveyed 17 trees with 5 positive interactions with the residents, which is exactly what we like to see.
On the other hand, this damaged Tilia is unfortunately something the surveyors have come across several times recently, especially considering the 3 trees we had that were sawn at the base. We would like to change these minds, and bring everyone together under the appreciation of trees, nature, and the world around us!
The leftover spider plushie in the tree gave the surveyors a giggle, but this shows us how people use trees, and always have done since humans began… We lived high amongst the trees! So, if you’d like to join them for your love of nature, please let us know or sign up here.
