We work to get more trees planted in all corners of our city, in parks, in yards, in schools and at businesses. We are also creating London’s first Environment and Sustainability Centre by restoring historic buildings at our unique and beautiful site. Our small team is energetic, passionate and we punch above our weight – making our community better every day.
