“We’re thrilled to be working with SUGi on delivering new biodiverse and much needed green spaces for residents of all ages across Newham. The pilot seeks to make a significant step towards increasing the long-term climate resilience of the borough alongside the immediate learning, community, and overall health benefits of the planting process.”

Jacob Heitland, Director of Climate Action at Newham Council

Oak (Quercus) - The kings of biodiversity: home to over 1,500 organisms and that's not including bacteria and fungi.
Hawthorn (Crataegus) - Once known as the bread and cheese tree as the leaves and berries were commonly eaten every day and are also really high in antioxidants.
Rowan (Sorbus subg. Sorbus) - Once planted outside rural homes to keep evil spirits away.
Dogwood (Cornus) - So called after the old word for skewers - 'dogs' - as butchers made these from dogwood because it's so hard and strong.
