How you can help

Commit to a tree

  • Go to the Map of Trees (see top menu)

  • Select a tree that you think you can commit to looking after

  • Register your details (remembering to include the Tree ID number

Water regularly

  • Water the tree 2 to 3 times a week, using a large watering can - or equivalent

  • Eventings are best ro reduce loss of water through evaporation in the heat of the day

  • In, dry hot spells, increase the amount and frequency of watering - trees suffer just like we do in heatwaves

  • Use the irrigation pipe if there is one as well as the soil around the tree

  • Share the role witha neighbour, even for one tree

  • Keep watering from teh first signs of life in spring to when the leaves drop - about March to October

Keep the weeds away

  • Keep the soft ground around the tree free from weeds as they compete with the tree for water

Tell others

  • What makes this really work is when everyone mucks in, which means we need to talk to each other. So, talk to your neighbours, post a message on the street whatsapp group - whatever works for you - and get something going.
