Wangari Maathai
Tottenham Trees had a year of events planned for 2020
to commemorate the Kenyan Nobel Peace Laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement, Wangari Maathai. 
Wangari Maathai, who died in 2011, would have been 80 years old on 1 April 2020.
Sadly our commemoration events had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 restrictions.

To find out about her inspiring life, her dedication to justice and her love of trees go to
Wangari Maathai

Her words -
When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and hope
are carved on the Verdun bench at Kew Gardens

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. 

The Tottenham Trees logo, shown on the right, is a silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People launched in November 2017, on the 800th anniversary of the Royal Charter of the Forest.
