Forest for Peterborough

Why are we doing it?

We’re planting trees for a multitude of reasons. Trees:

• Improve the look of our green spaces
• Absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the air and help to combat climate change
• Will make the city less vulnerable to flooding and other extreme weather
• Provide shade and shelter
• Improve the quality of air we breathe
• Encourage wildlife
• Improve your health and well-being

What can you do?

Whether you’re a resident, local business, community group or school, we’d love for you to join our volunteer planting days! We need hands-on help all year round – with volunteer tree planting days running October to March, and maintenance days April to September. As a community, you can come together to transform rundown spaces. Plus, if you have land for planting on, get in touch!

These fun social events are a great way to meet new, like-minded people. Helping to create more green spaces in Peterborough will enable you and your family to enjoy the outdoors and feel a real sense of achievement as you see the benefit of your hard work.
