Trees for Derby
Help us plant one tree for every person in Derby!
By planting 250,000 trees in and around our city we can regenerate our urban landscape, improve our air quality and enhance our community’s wellbeing while tackling climate change on our doorstep. Since we first formed, the population of Derby has increased, so what have we done? We have planted more trees!

More dates will be added to the calendar so please check back with us for updates. Much of our planting is done on a Saturday from 10am to 12pm but if you can’t make these dates then we do plant mid-week with the Trees for Schools Scheme. Days will vary for this scheme but at the moment it looks like Monday and Friday are the days when most people are free to come and help.
