Tree planting on verges in your road

Fairfield Drive residents group, in Dorking, setup a tree planting committee 5 years ago. The whole road now has new and renewed trees planted on almost every verge along the road. It has been a great success.

The group is eager to share lessons learnt and pass on ideas of how other roads/residents groups can do similar. Empowering more environmental tree planting in urban/residential areas in the Mole Valley.

Research has shown that property values are enhanced when a road has trees. They also dramatically improve the environment and provide a cooling effect in hot summers.

The road also has a litter picking team. They are only needed a few times per year. But this keeps on top of the ever present littering issue.  Dorking Library of Things (LoT) now has 2 litter picking kits to borrow for free. So why not set up a litter picking group in your road/area. Can be a great community team building exercise.
