Each time volunteers plant 420 trees, consisting of hawthorn, hazel, silver birch, rowan, English oak and blackthorn saplings. The trees are supplied for free to community groups like Merton Friends of the Earth by the Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. The saplings are selected with the aim of promoting woodland wildlife by providing food sources and habitats for a range of birds, insects and small mammals, like dormice and squirrels. Gabriel Partos, joint co-ordinator of Merton Friends of the Earth said: “We are grateful to the dozens of volunteers of all ages who have now planted over 1,600 trees in Morden Park in four years. We couldn’t have achieved this without the generous support of the Woodland Trust. We also appreciate the help of Merton Council and their green spaces contractors, IdVerde, whose staff prepare the ground and provide mulch before each planting.” Alex Butt, who joined Merton Friends of the Earth volunteers at the tree planting for the first time, said: “I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c333d65552ab3a5d9abf25/e3d33f06-f87f-4c7c-87a4-0407891da616/Merton+FoE+Volunteers+Planting+Trees+at+Morden+Park.JPG Trees - More trees please Trees not only draw down carbon emissions from the atmosphere and act as natural flood defences, but they also provide shelter, shade and sustenance to a wide range of species, improve air quality and have a positive impact on our mental health. Yet the UK’s tree coverage is only at 13%, and eight Merton neighbourhoods are deprived of green space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c333d65552ab3a5d9abf25/1640291127389-NLTHTYZK1ZB2RUQMHZLS/unsplash-image-TsXUChk1cKc.jpg Trees - Other ways you can help Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland is campaigning to double UK tree cover.

From extreme weather events to food scarcity, from rising sea levels to biodiversity loss, we risk irreparable damage to the planet we call home if we don’t take action now.
