Haringey Tree Protectors: Haringey Tree Protectors: Threats to mature trees in Haringey, campaigns and a new coalition
The Haringey Tree Protectors are a grassroots campaign group set up to protect mature trees in Haringey's urban environment. Founders Gio Iozzi and Jo Syz will be talking about their various campaigns, the threats to local mature trees in Haringey and how they've taken steps to form a national coalition group of tree campaigners to lobby for a change in the law.  Haringey Tree Protectors are currently trying to protect a century old plane tree in Stroud Green.

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.
