What is TreeBristol?

untitled image
An old adage says 'The best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago, the next best time to plant a tree is today!'. We want to plant a new generation of trees across Bristol by 2015. This will bring immediate benefits to people who live and work in Bristol and leave a legacy for future generations.
 
TreeBristol aims to plant 10,000 trees across Bristol’s parks, open spaces, public housing areas, highway verges and streets. This includes replacement of trees we have to remove due to death, disease or damage, and also finding new sites across Bristol in greatest need of more trees. 
 
 

How you can help

TreeBristol is committed to planting more trees but our resources are limited. We work with partners such as the Forest of Avon Trust and we seek support from local residents, community groups and business.
  • Sponsor a tree - give a gift that grows, provide a living memorial or make a contribution for more trees in your neighbourhood.
  • Join in and help improve Bristol's environment - plant a tree at one of our planting events throughout the Winter or join the TreeBristol Officer to help care for the trees during Spring and Summer. Working with trees is great fun and incredibly rewarding. No experience is necessary and all tools are provided.

 

 
 

What we do and what we've done

Since the TreeBristol launch in 2005, the council has planted over 2,500 trees, many with the help of local communities and other partners. We plant trees that are already 3-4 metres tall, larger trees create immediate visual and environmental impact and greater resistance to vandalism. We plant a wide range of trees and our selection of species depends upon space available, other trees in the area and the local landscape and character. The tree planting season runs from November to March.

Read about our progress in our TreeBristol E-bulletins.  You can also see who has contributed to the TreeBristol campaign.

Since TreeBristol's inception, hundreds of new trees have been planted across the city.
