Street Trees for Living

Who we are

Street Trees for Living is a people-powered charity, transforming our streets and communities through tree-planting.

With our roots in the London Borough of Lewisham, we work collaboratively with local residents, schools, community groups and partners to plan, plant and care for street trees. Our community-focused approach to planting and care delivers one of the highest survival rates for street trees of over 95%. We aim to increase climate resilience and improve health and wellbeing for all communities. 

Our culture and values

Our vision is for greener streets and empowered communities in every neighbourhood, so that people and trees can thrive together.

Our mission is to create healthier, happier, more resilient streets and communities through tree-planting.

Our Values: 

Openness: We commit to transparent, honest, and authentic communication that ensures a clear flow of information and a shared purpose. We lead by example, operating equitably and ethically.

Collaboration: We celebrate collective effort and impact. Through inclusive decision-making, knowledge-sharing and a commitment to meaningful, empathetic relationships, we actively support, facilitate and empower others.

Belonging: We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive culture that values people's connection to their community. By embodying warmth, care and compassion, we cultivate a shared sense of pride in place.
