National Hedgerow Week
5 – 11 May 2025
Theme for 2025 : The Future of Hedgerows
While the government’s Environmental Improvement Plan set ambitious targets to create 45,000 miles of new or restored hedgerow by 2050, sources of funding to support management of existing hedges, and the laying of new ones are uncertain. As good hedgerow management is so dependent on traditional skills and crafts, it’s vital that pathways exist for passionate people to pursue green careers to ensure that hedgerows thrive for generations to come. National Hedgerow Week resources include online talks, resource pack, library guide and more. And visit Hedge Hub - the ‘go to’ place for anybody seeking hedgerow knowledge and learning. 
The Urban Tree Festival is an annual community celebration of trees, including their benefits, beauty, majesty, and magic, in cities, towns and all urban environments. Events, celebrations, walks, talks and storytelling are held across London and the UK, bringing all our communities together to educate, inspire and share their enjoyment of trees.
As many events as possible are low or no-cost, and where possible 50% from tickets sold goes back into to the Urban Tree Festival. Click here to see The Urban Tree Festival programme.

Tottenham, an area of Haringey in North East London, is an area of high density housing which is recognised as deficient in the quantity of parks and green spaces. Those that exist, such as Bruce Castle Park (the first public park in Tottenham), Downhills Park, Lordship Rec and the wild beauty of Tottenham Marshes to the East of the borough are delightful places to visit. |
