Tottenham Trees believes that we need to
stop taking trees for granted, recognise
and celebrate their contribution to our lives, 
and take responsibility for their welfare.

​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.

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters.
