Clean Air and Reducing CO2

Urban tree canopy in parks and along city streets remove significant amounts of air pollution and sequester carbon (CO2 equivalent). Urban trees also filter particulate matter from automobiles and other vehicles, further cleaning the air.

Actions taken:

We have planted natural hedgerow around the park perimeter, the project is nearing completion, more than 2,000 hedgerow whips have been planted (supplied by the Woodland Trust).

Next Steps:

  • Planting 450 hedgerow whips
  •  Develop a plan in consultation with the tree department of Enfield Council for fallen tree replacement and new planting. Apply for grants/funding for this purposeTo develop a ‘Tree nursery’ – to nurture a ‘library’ of local trees from seedlings
  • A nursery of Oak and Ash saplings from Broomfield Park trees has been started in the Orchard. The Enfield society has a nursery with Oak, Horse Chestnut and Black Walnut.
