Trees for Streets Initiative

There is a trees for streets initiative established between Glasgow City Council and Trees for Cities. It aims to increase the number of street trees across the city.

Trees planted in Woodlands

It is possible for residents to sponsor the planting of new trees within the Hillhead Ward. This can enhance existing area of woodlands or support a new street tree on your street. Details at: Lets fill Glasgow with trees - Trees for Streets
