Story
In the Haringey ward of Bruce Grove we have no public green space. Several street trees have been removed in recent years and due to a lack of council funding there are no plans to replace them. Beautiful Bruce Grove has made a successful application to the Tree Council for funding to help plant four street trees. We need to contribute £200 toward this project in order to release the Tree Council's £800 grant. Hence, we are asking for donations toward the amount needed to fully fund four street trees. Any funds raised above the amount needed will pay for more trees on our streets.
Haringey council will be responsible for selecting appropriate tree locations, including consultation with nearby residents, and for planting and maintenance. Local children will also be involved in planting and in some of the maintenance.
If you would like to see more trees on Bruce Grove streets, please consider making a contribution. Each tree costs £250 to buy, plant and maintain. The more funds we can raise, the more trees we can plant.
For transparency: donations are paid by Just Giving into an account held by this page owner. All funds are then paid into the account of Bruce Grove Residents Network of which Beautiful Bruce Grove is a subgroup, and will be used only for street trees.

5 years agoHi - As you know, thanks to you, new street trees have been planted along Sperling Road and The Avenue. The children of Bruce Grove primary school were involved with the planting and were watering the trees, however of course they are now at home and unable to do this. If you live on Sperling or The Avenue, if possible please use some of your daily exercise giving them a drink in this warm weather. All of the trees have a plastic pipe in the ground through which you can do this. Many thanks Catherine

5 years agoThanks to everyone who donated to pay for 8 new street trees in Bruce Grove. Four were planted in November on Sperling Rd near the BG primary school and another three have been planted on The Avenue close to the junction with Mount Pleasant. One more is to be planted, I think on Moorefield Rd but the council will have the final decision on location based on permission from residents and scans for underground infrastructure. Thanks again everyone. This meant a lot to all involved.

5 years agoHello, thanks again for your contribution to Beautiful Bruce Grove's fund for street trees. As you know, we have £800 from the Tree Council to plant trees, involving local children in the process. We had to raise another £200 to plant four trees in total. We have raised this and more, so we have almost enough for six trees. We are collaborating with Haringey Council and the Bruce Grove primary school on this project. We have made progress with tree locations. I will post a detailed update on BGRN and BBG Facebook pages shortly.
