A resident rang me this week to talk about the importance of trees to the city. This reminded me of an excellent programme the City Council runs to give trees to families after a child is born. The City Council website says:

Anyone living within the boundary of the city who has recently become a parent is eligible. The tree must be planted in Cambridge. Ideally room should be found in your own garden, but if this is not possible perhaps a friend or relative, nursery or playgroup, school or employer could find a place.

For more information on how to apply for a tree, see the City Council website.
