We teamed up with Birmingham City University students for Go Green Week on Friday 30th January. The keen squad joined Matt and Charley – with support from Birmingham City Council Woodlands Team’s Leon and Nick – to fulfill some of our targets towards the Urban Forest Masterplan for Birmingham. We had a wonderful few hours of tree planting with BCU Volunteering Team!

The new trees have been planted in Newtown, targeting low canopy areas of Birmingham, in order to create fairer tree equity for these neighbourhoods and their communities. This means we want to raise the amount of trees in each ward to 25% canopy cover, for the people’s fairer access to trees and their myriad of benefits.

Thank you to the students and staff from the Volunteering Team at BCU, Matt our Operations Manager for arranging and hosting the session, and the Woodlands Team at BCC, for helping us towards these fantastic goals, whilst simultaneously contributing towards Go Green Week! What a perfect way to do so, if we do say so ourselves.
