Birmingham Trees for Life

Welcome to Birmingham Trees for Life. Discover how you can get involved in celebrating the importance of trees in our city. Learn how you can take part in tree planting events across Birmingham, improving the environment for your local community.

Whether you live near an open space that needs more trees, or would like to plant a tree to commemorate a special event, or you are just concerned to do something for the environment, Birmingham Trees for Life will be of interest to you.  If you are 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 we organise 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. 

We also organise special Corporate and Community Planting Days, when people who have sponsored trees get the opportunity to come along and plant their own special tree themselves. If you would like to join in the next sponsored planting event, you can sponsor a tree here.

Our city has many trees, but we need more and we need to replace those that are too old or diseased................so let's get planting!

Local residents are encouraged to come and help plant the trees, or just watch.  We involve local school children in nearly all our planting events.

We are tree planting NOW in parks across the City. If you would like to take part in an event, check our Blog for up to date news.
