Have you seen our new Documentary by the Good Side?
The Hackney Citizen have published an article about it! They came along to our Tree planting on Hackney Downs and it was great to show them what the Tree Musketeers do

We had a great Partnership Launch with Hillier’s last week and we can't wait to share Tree growing & Tree caring knowledge with them.
We had the perfect weather to plant some of HIllier's trial climate resistant trees on the marshes, the wonderful artist Stik came along to plant one of the trees.

Going to the #HackneyMoves festival this Saturday? Pop in to the Tree Nursery Open Day on the other side of the Hackney Marshes Centre. It’s a very special place. And a very short walk. And part of the @urbantreefest.bsky.social.
