Trees for Cities started life in 1993 as Trees for London when a group of young Londoners recognised the need for more trees in the capital.  Initially money was raised through fundraising club nights as young Londoners partied to raise funds for tree planting. 

In 2003, on our tenth anniversary, we changed our name to Trees for Cities, largely in response to requests for support and advice from cities around the world. Trees for Cities staff and volunteers work with local communities on tree-planting and landscaping projects. In addition to tree planting, the charity is now involved in a wide range of activities that include educational work with schools and community groups, vocational training in arboriculture, horticulture and woodland management, re-landscaping the public realm, campaigning, and yes, we’re still partying!
