About the appeal

Some of the residents became aware of NESST (Nether Edge and Sharrow Sustainable Transformation) a local community group which amongst other things is supporting local communities to access funding to plant new street trees.

Last year The Roach Road residents came together to consider planting a few trees to attract bees and birds as well as to make our environment more attractive and we managed to raise enough money to fund 7 street trees. Already our street is looking a lot greener and we are excited to see what they look like with the spring flowers:)

We have listened to as many different opinions as possible and it seems that most people are in favour of small/medium trees and in locations where there is no risk of loss of light/loss of view. We hope to plant another 4 trees between October 2024 and March 2025.

Each tree costs a total of £725 which covers the cost of the tree, digging a tree pit, maintenance for 100 years by the Council contractor. We need to raise 50% of this cost and the other half will be funded by NESST. If we can raise £1450 we can plant 4 trees.

If you can donate something towards this appeal you will help us make Roach Road a greener street not just for the current residents but hopefully for future generations.

If you want further information about this appeal please contact Jo Holliday (jo.holliday@me.com)

Fact: Did you know that a Hawthorn tree can live up to 400 years?
