Hawarden Grove Tree Fund

Aim: Raising funds for more trees on Hawarden Grove

This is a community Crowdfunder organised by the Residents Association on Hawarden Grove SE24 to plant more trees on our street.

"Trees are amazing. They have the power to cool our pavements during heatwaves. They absorb nasty airborne pollution and CO2. And perhaps most amazing is the positive impact they have on our personal well-being. It is proven that people who live in a tree-lined neighbourhood have better levels of well-being than those who don’t."   https://www.treesforstreets.org/our-vision/

With the funds raised we plan to approach Lambeth Council to sponsor street trees. The current cost of one tree is £480 https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/trees/trees-public-property/tree-sponsorship#:~:text=Lambeth%20Council%20is%20able%20to,a%20period%20of%20three%20years

we’re hoping to raise £1920 which would be enough to plant and maintain four new trees.

We think there is plenty of room for more trees on our street, however if for some reason this is not possible, or there is extra money leftover, we will put funds raised towards sponsoring trees nearby or towards other planting on our street.
