TREES FOR BERMONDSEY 

Trees for Bermondsey works with the community, Southwark council, the GLA and others to protect, replace and increase tree canopy across Bermondsey. We improve existing places for people and nature and create new green spaces for the benefit of all, raising awareness of ways to combat the effects of climate change through our actions and encouraging and supporting others to do the same.
