# About the Project

#### Published on Thursday, 1 October 2026 by [The Tree Line](https://treeline.greentalk.eco/)

![About the Project](https://ik.imagekit.io/dnc3e7n6z/services/treeline/editorial/sta/Alexandra_Park_planting_001_9c6IOLgtd.jpg?tr=w-10,h-10,q-50,c-maintain_ratio,bl-3)

**400 trees to be planted along routes between estates and schools.**

Local authorities, residents, parents, teachers, pupils and community organisations will identify, co-design and co-steward streets, schools and community spaces where trees are most needed.

The project aims to be transformative model for London, creating green corridors connecting schools with everyday destinations, such as parks, social housing, faith centres, and shops, thereby reshaping neighbourhoods at scale.

The** vision for the two-year project** is to empower local residents to take ownership of their neighbourhoods, to listen to communities to understand their needs, and to work together to find the best places for street trees and orchards. The project will encourage local participation, with an inclusive programme of events and activities.

A key focus will be investment in community skills and training, and we’ve committed to delivering our accredited Level 1 Award in Managing Community Orchards for 30 young people, alongside accessible, low-barrier routes to involvement and toolkits for community stewardship.

The training will prioritise marginalised groups, with a focus on young people from Black African and Caribbean backgrounds who have historically had unequal access to London’s green spaces, and those not currently in employment, training and education.

This project supports the aims of the GLA’s [London Urban Forest Partnership](https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/parks-green-spaces-and-biodiversity/trees-and-woodlands/london-urban-forest-partnership) by contributing to the expansion, protection and long-term stewardship of the [London Urban Forest Plan](https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/parks-green-spaces-and-biodiversity/trees-and-woodlands/delivering-london-urban-forest-plan).
