The deadline for submission of requests for planting in Winter 2022/23 has now passed. Enquiries are now welcomed for planting in Winter 2023/24 via the button link "REGISTER INTEREST". Registration will not be taken as a commitment. We will respond early in 2023 if not before. 

Planting is at the discretion of the council. The cost of planting each tree will be approx. £470 which includes professional planting of 4m tree (approx), supportive stakes, and insurance for two years against failure or damage. Of this cost, Lewisham Council will contribute £120 per tree. £320 of your contribution will fund the planting of the tree and the other £30 will fund the Charity’s administration costs associated with the project. There are a limited number of spaces for tree planting available and donations will be allocated to available spaces on a first come first serve basis. Any donations received which are over and above those necessary to complete the project will be applied towards the general charitable purposes of Street Trees for Living.

Actual tree planting will be carried out by Lewisham Council and planting takes place October-March. All street trees remain the property of Lewisham Council who also retain liability for them. Money is NOT payable until the request has been approved, usually in the August prior to planting. Money is payable to Street Trees for Living in a single BACS payment per tree, or group of trees, unless arranged otherwise. Money will be returned if for any reason your tree is not planted as agreed. Street Trees for Living is a registered charity and your sponsorship can be more valuable if you complete a Gift Aid form, available HERE or on request (UK resident taxpayers only).
