As part of Hillingdon Council’s ongoing partnership with the national charity Trees for Streets, they can apply to have a tree planted outside their home or in a school, favourite park or green space. Residents have the option to club together for a tree to be planted and share the costs or use Trees for Streets’ new crowd-funding feature. They can also sponsor a 'celebration' tree, marking a special occasion, to be planted in one of the borough's parks or green spaces. Helena Wright and Adrian Fenton had a cherry tree planted outside their home in Ruislip in February. Helena said: “When we moved to the area, we were keen to have more trees outside our new house, for shade, clean air and to have a greener view from our windows.
