Trees for Congleton

It is well-documented that trees are one of our biggest allies in the fight against climate change. They filter dangerous pollutants from the air using their leaves and bark. Air pollution is linked to premature death and respiratory disease, so trees help by trapping those pollutants. The Trees for Congleton group is working hard to reach our ambitious target of 30,000 trees, hedgerows and plants. View the tracker.
