“The places that are greenest are often the wealthiest, with the best sort of social indicators,” says the charity’s chief executive, David Elliott. This particular site in Beckton is next to the busy A1020 and just across the river from London City airport. Yet while the environmental benefits are obvious, they don’t reflect the joy many young people experience on getting involved in tree planting. Which is very commendable because of the cold and the wet.” The next tree planting session in their area is scheduled for March. So this is something that I care about and it’s also a really good way to spend your Saturday.
