Here is more info from the organisers:
“We would like to get some street trees planted along Rosebery Avenue and Shelbourne Road.
Street trees are proven to reduce pollution levels and improve our mental and physical wellbeing. There are hardly any street trees on these roads.
We have set up a crowdfunding campaign to plant at least 18 new trees, and Haringey Council and national charity Trees for Streets are going to contribute and help us. But we need your help too!
WHAT WE WANT TO DO
Plant at least 18 new street trees along Rosebery Avenue and Shelbourne Road. These trees will be 4-5 metres high so will instantly look impressive, and grow bigger over time. They will filter pollution, provide shade from hot summers, and look good too.
FUNDRAISING
We are lucky enough to have been granted £1500 funding from Haringey Council. This is coming from CIL (Community Interest Levy) money, which developers have to pay towards the community; it is not tax payers money. Haringey Council will also put in up to £400 per tree to cover stakes, excavations, ties, surveying etc.
This means that we need to raise £250 per tree – and we are aiming to get as many trees as possible”
