Trees for Life

Birmingham Trees for Life is an inspirational project devoted to promoting awareness and understanding throughout the city of the value and importance of trees. Trees for Life also campaign to raise money to enable more trees to be planted, and to encourage the involvement of everyone, especially young people, in planting trees.

Whether you live near an open space that needs more trees, or would like to plant a tree to commemorate a special event, or are just want to do your bit for the environment, Birmingham Trees for Life could be of interest to you. If you are a Birmingham-based business, perhaps you would like to get out and do something of value to your community – why not sponsor tree planting or tree-related activity in your city?

Every winter BTFL organises tree planting events in parks and public open spaces across the city. The City Council owns these parks and BTFL works in partnership with the Parks Managers, Rangers and Friends of Parks. If you know of a park near you that needs more trees, please get in touch.

This year BTFL will be holding no fewer than thirty events and are looking to begin planning events for next year. I have taken part in some of these events in the last couple of years and judging from the experience and enthusiasm of schools so far involved I am sure that the educational as well as the environmental benefits are very great.

More information and a list of all upcoming events organised by Birmingham Trees for Life can be found on their website at
