As part of Coventry City Council's commitment to plant 360,000 new trees in the city in the next 10 years – that’s one for every citizen – they are inviting local people to take part in making it happen!

Help Plant Trees in Coventry

Thousands of trees will be planted in Allesley Park, Sowe Common, Longford Park, Floyds Field and Park Wood in November and December as we kick off this year’s tree-planting season, hoping to plant just shy of 18,000 trees.

The wide variety of new trees will not only provide habitats and homes for wildlife, but also help combat air pollution as well as providing green spaces for us all to enjoy. The trees are being provided by Trees for Cities, a UK charity that works to plant trees globally.

Anyone who wishes to take part can volunteer by turning up in sensible shoes between 10am-2pm and be ready to use a shovel!

Sowe Common – near Walsgrave Cemetery off Woodway Lane, south of the M6 motorway – 4325 trees
