Help us identify opportunities for tree planting - If you are enthusiastic about trees and live in one of our target areas for tree planting, you can help us by finding sites where trees can be planted. These might be:

• replacing lost street trees;

• street side grass areas that could accommodate trees;

• corners of a playing field, garden or a park where a small wood might fit in.

Come to a tree planting event with your family and friends - We’re keen to involve local people in planting trees in neighbourhoods with low levels of tree cover, especially young people as they will gain most from seeing these trees grow and thrive in years to come.

Help us to find the funding required for new trees and their care – We need to buy trees for neighbourhoods with low tree cover and pay for their aftercare. You can:

• organise a fundraising event;

• get a local company to sponsor a tree planting scheme;

• donate the cost of a tree, or several trees. Go to MyParkScotland to donate

Help us to protect and nurture trees in your local neighbourhood - We want the trees planted as part of the Clyde Climate Forest to reach their potential and provide the many benefits to people and wildlife which only mature trees can deliver. Sadly many urban trees have a short lifespan. You can help:

• look after the new trees in your neighbourhood;

• keep the base of the trees free of grass and weeds;

• provide water to young trees in periods of drought - a bucket of water can make all the difference
